I have a 2001 c-240 Mercedes Benz, the left tail light keep blowing and I get a message that I'm using the substitute light, I took it the repair shop (Mercedes Benz) and they changed the bulb, now the problem is happening again in less than a year. There is a shortest somewhere and it also causes the car not to start only after a day of sitting, I have to jump it to get it to start. I called roadside service the checked the battery and said something is draining the battery, but when I take it in the repair shop can't find anything. A couple nights ago the alarm and all the outside and inside light came on for no reason. Please help. . . Did I buy a lemon? I love my car but want it to start when it's cold outside, has there been a problem like this reported on other c240. The battery has a good charge, so says the mechanic, but he doesn't know what could be draining it.

Purchased the used 2002 used vehicle in March 2005. By April 2005, the electrical components/harness that connects the srs, tele-aid and other computerized components started draining the battery whcih causes a slow stall before an immediate stoppage on the highway. Mercedes benz mechanics have disconnected the srs (airbags), tele-aid and most of the instrument cluster to no avail, which is causing additional hazardous and safety issues. I have visited 4 Mercedes Benz service centers in NY, NJ, PA and va for a total of 8 times and no one has able to provide an adequate diagnosis to fix the problem. The last visit to an mb service center was July 7, 2005, in an effort to prevent future deaths or injuries to myself or others. The model is a c240.
