Help Please 2000 Mercedes S500

My mom has a 2000 Mercedes S500 with about 120k on it - the stereo comes on but the volume buttons don't operate on steering wheel or stereo face - also the windshield wiper usually do not operate and when you try to engage the headlights flicker unless you turn them on also - she took to a Mercedes shop who were confused and sais it could be the front left computer or front right or rear or the key - So I did change the front left driver side computer and nothing we got a new key from dealer nothing -Should I replace other computers???? Or any advise Appreciated!!!

How old is the battery in the car? Sometimes a weak battery can send you to the insane asylum and cause all kind of little ghost to appear. Remember, after you change the battery (if that becomes necessary) the car must be re-synced.
