Electrical Problem - 2007 Mercedes SL550
Had to use the physical key to unlock the car door.
No dash lights, no dome light, no headlamp or tail lights, no horn, no accessories, nothing that's battery powered will function.
The battery under the hood is Functional, terminals are not corroded, and it's FULLY charged showing 12.7 volts.
Unable to unlock the trunk electrically and the manual key won't unlock it either.
Is there a "Master" Fuse or Circuit Breaker that can cause this symptom?
If so, please describe where it's located.
If not can somebody please tell me what to check, where to look for the cause.

ADDITIONALLY > I've had the SL550 transported to the Mercedes Dealership for them to troubleshoot and repair.
When the car has been repaired I'll post the results/remedy to this forum.

Thanks for your reply.
The Mercedes Dealer Service Department now has the car and I'll report their findings as soon as the problem has been remedied.
Yes, I agree the Consumable Battery is a likely culprit.

I have the same model (2007 sl550) and the same problem. What did the dealer find and the fix?
