When driving Wife's 300E across (very deserted) SW Kansas, suddenly cruise control shut off. Then radio wouldn't work. Got to a town, and tach and turn signals didn't work. When shut off engine, car would not restart.

These are all symptoms of failing alternator.

Nice that the car "shuts down" various loads to get you home.

Never saw a red charging light.
