W208 CLK 230 Cabrio Electrical Problems

[nav]

Hey all - got a real mad problem here - need some help.....

Earlier today my radio went off out of the blue, didnt think too much of it so turned it on from the on button. I got home and tried to put the hood up - wudnt go up - then i realised my electric windows were not working, nor was the washer wiper, nor was the cruise control. Fortunately i was on a pretty much straight road so no indicators were needed - as they were not working either:eek: :eek: . I managed to get the roof up manually - (tough job !!!) and checked all 3 fuse boxes and all fuses were ok. The windows go up and down using the key fob but not using the buttons. It seems all electrics have gone weird on the car. The hazard lights work as do the normal front and rear lights. Any ideas what the problem can be. It seems as though there is some relay which controlls all the above which might have blown. Anyone got any ideas what i can do to sort this out.

Thanks

Ended up getting the car onto the Star at an Indie (surprised they had one actually) and it turns out its the ignition key module is faulty. The system has a low voltage warning - and it faults on all the above mentioned items.

So i guess its off the the Stealership with my Log book in tow to get a new Ignition Module. I was hoping it was my key fob at fault, but the other key did the same thing.....

Are you sure it needs replacing,, it seems odd, low voltage is one thing but this not require a new switch.

To me it just sounds like the consumers switched off through low battery

Sounds interesting - they checked the battery and the battery status was good at 77% capacity so they said it wasnt the battery.

they thought it was the Key fob so they checked the other fob. The errors was N73 module - low voltage.

anyone else have any views on this. I sure as heck wudnt want to spend £200 quid on a new ignition module to realise thats not the fault
