No power at all...none...zippo...zilch
I have a 2009 S550 4matic and it has lost all power. Using the key to start the car, when it is turned to the "on" position, no lights on the dash turn on. The seats have no juice, the door locks do not work. The battery in the engine compartment is about 3 months old. Will have it towed to a shop, but any clues as to the cause?

It sounds to me like the accessory battery in your trunk is dead or completely drained as that controls everything in your car. The fact that it also won't turn over could mean that you alternator isn't making any power and may be kaput. It could also be something as simple as the voltage regulator being shot.

The best part about Thanksgiving is that there is no "wrong" time of the day to start smoking crack.

Which would explain a flat accessoiry battery(in the trunk) so no powerlocks have experienced this on several occassions.
But then,when you use the key to enter the car, you would still be able to start..
Perhaps a main fuse blown ?
