Strange problem no one seems to know how to fix

Hi,

I'm new to MBWorld. I'm searching for a fix for my husband's 2004 S430. We have taken the car to three different places one MB dealership, a non MB franchise dealership and a mechanic that works only on MB and BMW. After all of that still no anwser or fix. I'm hoping maybe someone on here has an idea what's wrong and how to fix it. Thanks in advance!!

8 seconds after car is started:

Outside temperature guage will not display,
Air conditioning does not work,
Cannot adjust steering wheel setting,
Cannot adjust windshield wiper setting.

After 60 seconds, everything works fine.

Hi.

My glasbowl says it's all about communication to the SAM front left module.
Either a connection problem or the module is faulty.

Cheers, Frank
