2002 c240 exterior lights not working (good bulbs)

1.My headlights and turning signals are not working. The bulbs are new but can't get them to turn on. The turn signals on the mirrors are working fine.

There seems to be a drain on the batter / short cct somewhere as well cos I always have to jump start the car even though the battery and alternator are new (less than 2 months old).

Also, any directions on how to work the dash menu to clear fault messages? Dealership said there's a way to do that but he didn't have the time and patience to show me how after I had spent almost $1000 on other repairs!

Help!!!

More than likely the SAM module is bad and that may also contribute to your battery issues.
