MB S500 Essence -06 (W221)
Problem with ABC suspension (and some small other problems)

Hello!
New on this site and I have searched the threads if someone already have had the same problem but I could'nt find any.
So I desperatly ask you for help and hopes that anyone of you maybe have some answers?

My car is a S500 -06 W221 and my problems is:

1. I have ABC suspension on my car and 3 of 4 of the struts have stuck in the highest position... until today.
Today I noticed that one of the front struts was leaking oil from the top bolt on the strut. The bolt who is placed in the hole in the mittle of the place where you fasten the whole strut (hope someone will understand). And I was planning to turn this bolt so it will be harder and stopped leaking, but it's seems impossible? Someone who knows what the **** this is for bolt and why I can't screw it in??

2. For a while ago I left the car to a friend you should drive it to the garage, and before that I had no problems with the lights or the fuses...
But now is the right tail light always glowing, even if the car is locked? It's only the lowest light on the tail light, not the whole lamp...
Anyone who has had the same problem?

3. When I went to the garage to get my car the battery was empty, my car key is not working, the trunk will not open if I don't open it manuelly with the key wich is inside the carkey AND it's a clicking sound from the fusebox / SAM box in the trunk? The clicking is click as long as the battery is on the car and with each click the whole ****ing trunk (lights for the plate, the lock etc) is blinking! So with each click it's a blink...
Someone who knows WHY my whole fusebox is clicking???

Hoping for big help from you guys!

From my experience with ABC struts once they leak they need to be replaced and you typically do the front and rear together.
