Mercedes 2003 C320 something is draining battery

Check to be sure the trunk is closing all the way. It happened once to me - someone slammed my trunk shut and after that it would not close all the way. Never slam a Mercedes trunk!

I hv a Mercedes Benz CLK. 200 automatic car. It's battery is dying unless it is started every single day. So I changed battery to a brand new one, changed alternator but still now, even after starting...

There is a possibility that there is a low consumer of power which stay on even after you lock the the vehicle. Here is a list of possible causes; Check if all the door switches are not broken, if they are broken the door lights will remain on and since they are covered when the doors are closed you won't notice.Check also the glove box switch if it's intact and working properly, that's if the glove box light goes off upon closing. You may also check if the boot closes properly and if the boot lights goes off.

Door open warning

Yes, the doorjam switch is either shorted or broken. This switch is on the cabin door opening by the hinges. In rare cases the pin may be self adjusting. Sometimes you can press in the pin by hand to see if it shuts off the interior light. Do not slam the door with your finger in the hinge area.

There may be a problem with the door adjustment or the hinge may be broken and you do not know it. It can be a lose or broken wire inside the cabin shell.

Wiper Blades

lift the wiper arm all the way up and out from the windshiled. hold the arm so it doesnt slam back down and crack the glass. rotate/spin the whole wiper blade 90 degrees, counter clockwise, and then pull the blade straight back off the wiper arm. install the new one in the opposite order

When exiting highway 35-45 MPH right turn only,the interior lights come on and then go off when I resume driving straight

rkgaynor i recomend checking your drivers side front door latch adjustment-the striker on the B-pillar may need to be loosened and adjusted inwards which will make the door close tighter-sounds like at higher speeds your body may lean against the door and cause the door switch to illuminate the interior lights-before looseing the bolts i recomend tracing the striker with a pencil so if any large adjustments occur and door doesnt close or open properly you will know where the original position was and can change it back.
