E300 wont start help!

Friends when I bought a mercedes I knew it would only be a matter of time until I would need to use the knowledge of this forum.

I drove my car to airport and left it for a week. Came back and the car wont start. I called to get it jumped but it would not start. My digital dash is not coming on and I can not start the car. However the alarm does go off and interior lights can come up if i boost the car. Now of the electrical is working, so no electrical seats and not even the horn.

What do you think it could be and should i tow it to dealer or indy? Im in brooklyn this dealer wanted to charge me 3.5 for service B so they really really inflate their prices hence I rather not go to them unless I have to.

Who did you call to jump the car? Did the starter crank when you push the start button?

If your battery is 4 years or older, you might consider replacing it.

I have read about car that won’t jump start is because the battery is damaged or completely dead. In this case, you’ll need to replace the battery. If its not the battery, it could be the starter or something locking out the starter. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

.
Most likely there is an issue with the voltage converter (aka aux battery) located in the non-driver side footwell. it controls start/stop functions.
