Hello star_expert:
I really need your help.
I have a 2001 C320. The battery died on last week and I had it boosted the next day so I could drive it to my mechanic friend to replace the battery.
After replacing the battery, the car has not worked properly:
- error messages re ESP, SRS and faulty display messages (ie: fuel gauge incorrect)
- trunk refuses to open w key or internal button
- remote control will only work (for doors only) if pointed directly at driver door sensor
- engine/transmission seems to have regressed (slow response when gas pedal depressed)
- wiper blades and fluid do not work
- signal lights do not work
- emergency flasher does not work
I reset the ESP error message by turning the steering wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right as per the manual. But I am unable to resolve all the other problems. Is this an ECU problem? Or is it a mixture of the problems you listed (ie: alarm system, key, etc.)?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
f1fan.

Always after replacing the car battery , reactivating the electronic modules must be done.
- error messages are ESP, SRS and faulty display messages (ie: fuel gauge incorrect) --> this fault can be solved by turning the steering wheel all the way to left then all the way to right for initializing the Steering Angle Sensor .
Then all other fault that you mentioned here can be repaired by reinitializing the Front SAM Module located in left engine compartement and Rear SAM Module located in trunk , this can be done by Star Diagnosis Scanner it takes only 5 minutes. If you have this Scanner i can send you the instructions of how to reprogram these modules,this is the only way to solve your problem .
- trunk refuses to open w key or internal button
- remote control will only work (for doors only) if pointed directly at driver door sensor
- engine/transmission seems to have regressed (slow response when gas pedal depressed)
- wiper blades and fluid do not work
- signal lights do not work
- emergency flasher does not work

Thanks star_expert. Quick reply too.
I'm assuming the "Star" sensor is a MB Tech tool so I'll probably have to take the car in anyway. But at least, you've pointed me in the right direction.
One more question. I haven't drove the car for a week after the battery replacement b/c of the faulty displays, remote, wipers, etc. But this morning, when we tried the car again, it wouldn't start.
Since the battery is brand new, could there also be a "charging" problem or an alternator problem? Or is it normal for a MB to drain a battery if the car is not used for a week.
Thanks again for the electronic module explanation.
