whunter: If my MB was manufactured for North American specs would it make a difference if it is a "Canada Special Edition". By the way, this is great information to know. From my VIN review, I just got the history on the car since it was purchased in Connecticut. Thank you!

jcyuhn: When you had this similar problem, what measures did you take to prevent your battery from draining? How long did it take for the electrical issue to go away?

lee polowczuk: I was also thinking it could have been the ingnition switch. When turning the car off, I would turn the ignition to postion# 1 (or accessory position) to see if the CEL would not illuminate. That didn't work. I also tried turning the ignition to that postion after driving instead of turning it to the off position to see if that would work but no dice. Yes I did pull fuses one by one with unsuccessful results. In my novice diagnosis I had ruled out the ignition switch. Again if I am thinking in the wrong direction, please correct me.

I just got my hands on an electircal schematic. After I start making sense on how to follow it I will try following the wires in the car. I think then I will really need input from this forum.
