If by code you mean model code it is 221.194, post VIN I will provide MB data card (equipment codes, etc.) WIS (VIN specific parts #, instructions, etc.) check here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...edes+&_sacat=0 as it concerns general wiring diagrams you can check here: http://www.bbbind.com/tsb-and-wiring...ense-agreement

I wouldn't count on me for the rail covers. I need to do my swap first and then I can see what I have leftover. I think that hazard light switches go bad in these cars, I had to replace the COMAND control buttons on my CL for the same reason.

For wherever it's worth, here's another update
I couldn't sleep so i tore apart the plastic wire covers and discovered an air line leake on the side of back seat tapted really good and now the massage function %100
I also took apart the center console to get to the hazard light switch, but i couldn't figure out how to access it, there was a black plastic peace behind it and to torx screws i took them out and nothing happened, so i gave up and put everything back to place, i'm thinking about leaving this one thing broken ���� so that nothing else brakes (old myth) ��

Unless you’re saying button is physically damaged and needs replacement: http://www.bbbind.com/tsb-wiring-diagrams-database/ - wiring diagrams - enter “2011” s550 - 7445470 & 7445471 upper control panel - A40/9s3 Hazard warning system button originates from N72/1 upper control panel in dash located under center A/C vents.

Didn't dig into it hard, but water was up to the windows. Motor died under water. Was there for maybe 15 minutes until it was pulled out. Mechanic said the starter is shot. Have to replace but won't know if the Alternator is bad til we turn it over. The windshield is cracked, bumper needs paint. Drivers headlight needs replaced. both bulbs. 2 front wheels. Roughly $5K in damage. Virginia has a law that more than $3500 in water damage is a total loss. I am heartbroken, honestly.
The car powers up but will not turn over or even try to crank.

Only codes I got were:
P0155 O2 Sensor (presume water in the exhaust)
P0365 Camshaft Position B
P0695
Key in and on, everything lights up like I am about to start the car. Just won't start. Sucks.

Small update
I got the auxiliary battery working it was a blown fuse, car is %99 done
Only thing left is some cosmetic stuff and 1 cornering light, i can't figure out how to pull it out, and didn't find any info about it. So if anyone knows please help, and if you have a part number that would be great.
Oh and I'm waiting to get inspection done so i can finally drive this thing, can't wait
Ps: hazard lights still not working i need to find a deal on a good used one
