AMG SL 55
2 malfunctions.

2003 SL55 16000 miles
1. electric consumers offline-- I hook the car up to the ac outlet battery charger.
2. ABC -visit workshop-. Do I have to go the the dealership to fix this? Or is there an easy remedy to the problem.

Car runs fine. Been driving it for 2 weeks with the malfunctions and im still alive.

Does the car still raise with the ABC button despite of the ABC malfunction?

Anyway, if the ABC error stays in the dash you had better have someone take a look at it with stardiagnose. If the error was only there after the batery issue and gone since recharge then the car lowered too much due to low current and that shouldn't be a problem.

fast cars and faster motorcycles ..
when i don't drive my car (2003) for a while, the battery must run low.. same
thing on a friend's 2005 e55..
.
while driving the car, the heated seats etc. didn't work.. after driving for a while, (battery recharged?) the error message went away and everything worked again..
.
there is no way i will own a late model MB without a warranty..
