Not really sure, I looked into it a while back but no one made them for CLS, only E. The CLS one is bigger. Try eBay

I think I might just get it from dealer. I don't want the black or anything.

My brother has this habit of turning on the lights even if it is on Auto mode. I think he just left the lights on because he says it doesn't even turn on so probably dead battery.

Congrats! Excellent choice.

"Hello Darkside"........give it a week and you'll be saying, "I've seen the light!"

..and yes, sounds like a battery issue. Don't sweat it.

I've done it before, stupid mistake but it shouldn't be a huge deal. Throw the battery on a charger and you should be ok.. Sometimes when the batteries die in these cars it messes stuff up. If it were my car I would not jump it.

You could always call roadside assistance to diagnose the issue and offer a jumpstart,

They also sell and install the main battery cheaper than the dealer. I think $180 total.
If it's the aux battery up front, go to Walmart and buy a 14BS motorcylce battery for $80. Its easy to replace

I am at work, I will look at it once I get home. I am sure if it was a dead battery, in 8 hours time it should charge up a little for me to leave it on for a while.

$25700 with 77k mileage after driving it back down to NJ. He has extra set of wheels, which I will be selling so after that really I got it for $24500

Thank you Shardul yet again! Problem was the SprintBooster caused the ESP malfunction so the when the car was started it would just putter like a tracker. Shardul told me SB is bad for AMGs so I took it and and connected it to DAS and erased everything! Works great now!
