ticking noise
Okay guys and gals my 01 s430 battery died monday morning at home so i got AAA to give me a jump it turned over with no problem on the first try. so i let it charge drove it to work and around town mon tue. But wed the battery died again okay no problem i went around town trying to price out a good battery noing it's going to run me around $150-200 found a battery at good year for around $170 i think it was a interstate. so i come back home to take the battery out for the core before i start i here a ticking noise comeing from the front of my car i open the hood it's not comeing from under the hood it's comeing from the brake rotor area so im thinking maybe it's the sensor because my brake pad were visit a workshop was on. so i took the batter out thinking this will stop the noise. battery out the noise is still there. any suggestions?

Your alarm system has a separate battery that is integrated into the alarm horn. It may be dead or dying; if so, the entire horn must be replaced (it's not awfully expensive). http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...ease-help.html - also there are links in the electrical system portion of the W220 S-Class Encyclopedia at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...tart-here.html
