car dont crank no start only power to the seats HELP PLEASE
I have a CL600 but i post here because theres more S class owners, my car dont crank, engine does not start, when i put the key in the slot it turns to 3rd position where car is supposed to crank but nothing happens i does not turn dash lights, windows dont work, gearshift stuck in park, the only thing that does works is the seats, or the cluster but only if i open the door or close the door will iluminate, otherwise dotn work at all even with the key, i check already the fuses, and seems not to be blown even i interchaged similiar fuses from slots assuming that may be a blown fuse but does not work i used the battery of my CLS and same story, i replaced the battery on the keyfob but does not work, it open to 3th possition but wont crank, what can i do? any idea?
PS this happent when i removed one of my old coilpack to replace it for other, it has a new coil.

if you try a new battery and that doesn't fix it ,
you probably shorted somethings out when you replaced the coil pack - did you disconnect the battery before Starting the replacement job ? Always disconnect battery when working on electrical system
of these cars
most likely your main fuse under passenger seat floor blew
here is where it's located

i was thinking on check the brake light switch, but i dont know where is located on this car, by the way wich of the two boxes under the passenger side is the main fuse? is the one with the red big cable conected? can i use the main fuse of one of my CLS's just to check if that works, will that blow the CLS's fuse?
also check fuse f78 , depending on the year of your car it may be on the side of the dash panel accessed when you open the passenger door , or in the passenger side engine compartment fuse box
there are pictures and details here

Any time that you have the main fuses under the carpet open and available, always carefully look for any traces of water intrusion.
The main source of water intrusion is the HVAC plenum under the hood at the right rear corner of the engine compartment. Use a good light to look down at the outside forward corner and make certain that the drain is lean and clear. Remember that even under the hood, the right side is always defined from the viewpoint of a seated driver - in other words, the right headlamp is still the right headlamp even if it is on your left as you face the car.
If there are signs of water intrusion under the floor even though the plenum drain is clean and clear, and you haven't left a window open, sunroof drain problems are another possibility.

I'll check this and i'll let you know by the way i forgot to mention that yesterday when i conected my scarner ( no SDS or star) i was able to comunicate to several modules in the car but was unable to comunicate with others like ECU it was unable this is a symptom of bad EIS.
