Dead Battery?
Hey guys,
I got this issues this morning. Looking to see I can get some help before I make the move to call the dealer. From what I read, looks like a dead battery. I didn't want to jump start it, thinking it could cause other issues. Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Wow, I've never seen that before. I don't have speakers at my current location so I couldn't hear any of the sound. Hopefully someone will come by that has seen this before and has advice. Good luck.

had the backward clock thing happen on my clk500.. ignition would click but that was all. battery was 3 yrs old.. called MB roadside, they came out, tested the battery, put a new one in and reset the windows, then tested the charging - cost me 177 total. I was back up and running in an hour.

My battery charge was getting low and I had weird stuff starting to happen as well. The Parking sensor system would go into malfunction mode.
I went and picked up a new battery, however, when the shop tested the old one they said it was still good but not fully charged !
I've done a lot of short trips this month and from what I understand, the alternator charges in a way that is suppose to be efficient and 'smart'. (So much for a smart charging system
)
Anyway, I tapped into the Engineering menus and found out where I could monitor Battery Voltage while I was driving. I messed around a bit and figured out how I could get the alternator to kick in when I want to and have the voltage up to 15 V.

What did you do to get the alternator to kick into high gear? I found that WOT worked.
