Replying to: bparsons (Apr 28, 2009 11:54 am) Checking the error codes with an OBD2 reader might help you narrow it down. Many internal systems can cause the drain as certain circuits are designed to stay active until the master CPU times out and turns the circuit off, however, a short in any circuit can prevent the circuit from shutting off and keep draining voltage. It could be anything from the inside cabin lights, power seats, alarm, locks, nav system, TPS, etc., staying open on the CAM bus in the car. Do the interior cabin lights and parking lights actually go off after a few minutes? Too many computers and circuits in the damn new cars nowdays. Mercedes has been having a huge problem with this for the past several years. You might also investigate some of the SLK usergroup forms for similiar problems and resolutions. You can also try unplugging fuses one at a time to see if you can isolate the open circuit - it an be very difficult to properly diagnose let alone fix. One of my neighbors had a $68k AMG C55 that had an unidentifiable battery drain and MBZ replace the battery 3 times but could never find the open circuit. MBZ kept asking if the owners were leaving the lights on in the garage (yeah, right!). I finally contacted MBZ USA on their behalf and got MBZ to take the car back under Calif. lemon laws and my neighbors got a refund check for $35k representing over 40 months of lease payments . . . . |

| I posted on April 28 that my 2006 would not start. My AAA towing guy came up with an answer that may have resolved the problem. My replacement battery was too small. Got a 700 cold cranking amp vented battery, and car has been running like a champ. Thanks for all your advice. | |
Anyone had recent experience of buying a new 2008 roadster or coupe and where the pricing is at. I see plenty on the lots and some saying $27k for MSRP $42?
