2010 S550 instrument cluster error messages
Hello long time lurker first time poster, nice to officially be part of the forums.
I have a 2010 S550 4matic, January 2014 left it in my garage for 2 weeks when I went on vacation, came back rodents made a den under the hood and chewed up all my wires. Took the car to MB and get all the wires redone. April 2014 the first instance of my current problem occured. While driving all the error messages on my dash started popping up simultaneously, pulled over, got it towed to MB to fix thinking it's the wiring issue not fixed properly. MB tells me my front starter battery was dead and they charged it and it's holding charge and I'm good to go. No problems for the next 3 month until recently, it's happening again. While driving this problems occurs randomly, about 10 error messages pop up on dash including abs, power steering, air bags, blind spot assist, odometer, speedometer, COMMAND system shut off and restart. If I turn the car off and on the messages will disappear but will still be picked up by a scanner(10 noCAN codes and 4 airbag codes).
Can't go to MB this time because they are backed up and fully booked until October and I have a big client coming down on Monday and she likes to ride in the S550. So I took it to my local mechanic to diagnose, according to him the starter battery is fine, the smaller secondary battery is also fine, the wiring is fine. The only issue he could think of is instrument cluster software requires an update and that's why I'm getting these messages randomly.
Anyone had same/similar problem that can share some expertise?
Thanks in advance.
