2006 sl500 electrical glitch radio and srs light
Hey guys, I just picked up a 2006 sl500 that has 49k miles about a month ago and noticed its been having some kind of electrical glitch. Sometimes when I start the car up the SRS light will stay on and the radio will be on for around 20-30 sec then just cut out and say accessories unavailable and then just completely shut the radio off, then it will again repeating the same sequence. I also noticed that the SOS light is flashing and the accessories in the car such as heated seats and auto lights do not work. If i turn the ignition off then restart the motor the car will be back to normal. (radio stays on, gauge functions work, and srs light is off) Does this sound like some computer issue or most likely a weak accessory battery? (my gauges never flash the code saying convenience accessories unavailable) it just makes the radio cut out.
the way i know when i start the car whether its going to act up or not is when I set the gauges to the radio station setting and it says radio on the left and (-----) on the right instead of what radio station i am on
