Hey Arthur and everyone else...
I went to an indy mechanic down the street from my house in hope of getting him to charge my battery. When I showed him all the things my car was doing he was quite shocked, and put his battery testing machine to my car. My car was pumping out 17.2 Volts from the alternator, which I was told is unsafe for my car as the max should be around 13.5 volts. He told me it might be my alternator that's over charging and forcing the car to go into a safety mode by having the stereo and interior cluster lights stop functioning. He told me not to drive the car to prevent the car's computer from getting screwed up, and told me to take it to Mercedes and get it fixed.
After this diagnosis by an indy mech, does anyone have a rough idea and what's causing my problem?
thanks and take care

The reason for this is I suspect you have a low voltage condition and I want to take bat. out of the equation..just slow charge it over-night..
..or, go get it done if you do not feel uncomfortable with charging it yourself.
While you are there , tell them of you ASR condition.
