today, the same thing happened with the radio and a/c fans but this time a ESP malfunction came up on the dash.

The next time we started the E320 to leave the dash says NO Malfunctions.

When we got home I pulled the small battery under the hood and it tested OK, 12.6 volts out of the car, and would run a small 12 volt fan I use in the barn strong.

There is no starting issue, and when the dash lights blink the engine does not cut off.

Has this happened to anyone else.

I only have a few hairs left on my head to pull out and my wife is eyeing those as I type.
