There should be a fuse chart located with your vehicles tool kit. In order for the top to function, the partition cover located in the trunk does need to closed. The micro switch for that is located on the right side where the slide cover guide is located. The hard top light will also blink fast when the partition cover is not in place. If the light blinks slowly then there is a fault in the system. By the concerns listed it sounds as if the vehicle may have a partially dead or low battery voltage. If that is the case then you can start the vehicle and push the suspension button to raise the vehicle. That should clear the warning on the cluster. The a/c blower motor will shut off if vehicle battery voltage is low and will remain off until the battery control module see a stable battery voltage for a certain amount of time. Once battery voltage is stable, the a/c should start working again, same goes for the hard top. The instrument clusters used to show a message saying 'consumers offline' but Mercedes got rid of that message after a couple years. If it looks like more then just a low battery issue then i recommend taking it to a service facility asap as you don't want to damage the hydraulic suspension pump by driving the vehicle around.

SOURCE: clk top will not go back up seems dead..all fuses checked

It is normal for the roll bar to rise when top is down. It seems like the rear valance cover is not secured and the soft op does not understand what position it is in. There is a way to manually close top. it is stated in your owners manual. also I would try to close top with button(assuming your vehicle will start and the battery has good voltage) start car and try to operate top down and try pushing on rear cover also make sure the retractable cover in trunk is extended to compress operation switch

SOURCE: ac not working on 2004 s430

If you have the hood up stand outside while someone activates your air off and on and see if the clutch on the compressor goes on and off while they activate the switch. If that isn't it the it could be improperly charged system or your climate control door that opens and closes for hot or air is not working properly and only stays on heat.

2006 Toyota Sequoia AC light on dash stays on and AUTO button seems stuck. Did what the manual said to do and it did not work. How do I get the auto button off and is it going to burn out my AC compr

That won't burn out the compressor. It could be dead already. There are several things that will keep the light on, in the dash. High, low pressure switches, A/C .heater controller malfunction, wiring, and the compressor is bad. All these turn the light on, but all will shut down the system. Put it on a scanner and find out what's wrong.

Battery drain overnight

Usually if battery is good. Its usually a parasitic drain. You can use a standard multimeter, and put across each fuse top. Two little tips. If you see a voltage even a little bit. That's a drain. Find what fuse go's too. And diagnose.

My abs and handbrake light stay on every two days and off after in my honda civic 1500cc yr 2004.its a five door civic

This indicates you have an issue with your ABS control unit. ABS is a system that "pumps" the brakes in rapid succession to prevent wheel lockup during an emergency start. A common cause of sliding in wet weather, etc. To do this a computer control module uses plungers to open and close the brake fluid flow to the brake in miliseconds..so while you are pressing on brake pedal hard... the system is actually applying and releasing the brake in rapid succession (miliseconds) to prevent skid, etc. When teh computer module goes bad the ABS and Parking brake light will stay illuminated. There shoudl be an ABS fuse in your vehicle (please refer to your manual) that can be removed. Remove this fuse and check it for dirt, blown, cracks, or corosion. Replace the fuse and listen with the motor off if you hear a hum noise this would indicate the motor is running continuously for the brakes and is another indicator of a bad control. With the fuse removed both lights should stay continuously lit. If the motor is running continuously this can blow the ABS motor.. your brake system will still function with the fuse removed, but test it with a slow roll (no gas hand pushed car) The ABS controller is quite pricey to replace in the vehicle and should be referred to a licensed facility such as a dealer. YES dealers are high but to have this job done properly you need to have the vehicle raised on a platform. Your local brake shop, muffler shop, shadetree wont be able to do this control repair properly.
