Found it

There are 4 10 amp fuses in computers compartment. 1 was blown. Car runs again. POS wiring harness. Shame on Benz for that

Shame on owner for neglecting maintenance. Car is 13 years old, and things happen.

Well I just bought the car and ordered new harness. Also Im fixing a lot of things that PO did not. But wiring harness is faulty from the factory. Also its 13 year old car but I don't think engine wire harness is maintaince item. Its like change your engine as per maintaince at 150000ml. Find me a car that requires replacement of wiring harness per maintaince.
