First of all, welcome to MercedesShop! You'll be glad you've come here.

Lots of folks here with expert advice. Eventually, most or all of your problems (with your car) can be solved here. (Go to the open discussion forum for help with personal problems)...

Next, use the "search" feature. You have a common model of MB and many of us have been down the same path. Most likely, you will find that someone has already posted a solution to your problem(s).

It sounds like you have some issues with the console. Has someone spilled some liquid on it before? You seem to be having problems with the switches on the right bank of the console...
