07 SL55 SO SAD
So I’ll start at the beginning last weekend I fly to MD to pick up a 2007 SL55 5000 miles not a great deal but it's a good deal been looking for 2 months and this I thought was overall the best. I pick it up last Saturday drive her home from MD to LI, NY no problems love the car.
I get in the car to go to work on Friday as soon as a start it the DIC tells me convenience options temporarily unavailable ok fine I put it in reverse and back to drive shut her down start it back up and she's fine (put the top down) and I’m off to work no problems rest of day. Today going down to friends house same thing but, on off trick don’t work drive to friends house park it help him out 2 hours later get in car same thing take out the book says nothing about it. Hit the reset button on the dash and boom it works put the top down come home. about a hour ago after falling asleep on my couch waking up startled that I left the car with the top down and in the driveway I go out side to pull it in and put the top up and a light is on that says BRAKE something about hold down pedal who knows I start it and same thing as before no convenience options so I try to reset it and the car freaks out starts calling someone BRAKE all kinds of stuff for like ten minutes and then it works…… ANY IDEAS? Please don't tell me I bought a lemon, is there a master reset? Pull the battery terminal,etc. I looked around the forum for a similar situation but I don’t see one any help would be great thanks all

Its a pretty common problem if the car has keyless go. The dealer can fix this rather quickly by replacing convenience battery under the hood. Just call roadside assistance, they will come to your house to do it lol.

My main battery went after 12 mos. Similar problems. Dealer can verify battery problem because it will kick out codes. Once new battery is in, all accessories work again aok.
