Sounds like you damaged the gear drive that operates the wiper arms, time for new wiper motor assembly is my guess. Don't use the wipers to brush off snow, very bad idea, the drive gears are plastic and on this old dog very brittle from age.
you have'nt mentioned age or mileage , could just be wear and tear , clutch could need replacing , would need a bit more info to be able to comment further
because the rear and front brakes have different braking ability because of disc rotor size and or rear drum brakes it is necessary to reduce the braking efficiency of the rear brakes to stop the rear end skidding out on sharp stops, wet roads and inclines . To do this there is a small pressure regulator ( equaliser) that allows some pressure through at partial brakes eventually increasing the pressure available to full brakes .IT may be in the ABS unit if you have one or in the rear hydraulic line under the body. The failure rate of this unit is exceedingly small so I would be checking things like pad/lining thickness and seized caliper pins that are not allowing the caliper to centralise and allow both pads to work on the discs or seized pistons in the wheel cylinders that is not allowing full pressure onto the shoes in the drums
Question edited for a lot more clarity.Question moved to model category.Sometimes they are just on, and sometimes the SRS will flash. Connect to a pro grade scan tool computer and look for the diagnostic trouble codes associated with the fault status.https://www.google.com/search?q=Mercedes+W169+SrS+system+light+on..
post all things that fail and work both
all maters
engine starts , runs , drives ok ,day or night?
all other electrical things on the car ,as in ALL do in fact work correctly?
or just the RADIO on the car fails.
many cars now the RADIO is part of the CAN , the car Area Network. and if that fails so does the RADIO.
if is in fact a factory RADIO there from MB.
what to do.
well
check all fuses first. never skip the easy first step and a 50cent cure..
next scan the USA? OBD2 scan port, and look for Radio errors
like COMM failures codes.
can I assume this RADIO is not SDAR , satelite radio
if is did you path the subscription bills? $$$$$$
or
the RD is base Radio and both are in fact CAN bus controlled
so yes, it must be scanned first, after fuses
sorry this is no simple 80s radio, not at all
and is antitheft protected too.
i request this post be moved to cars and not computers.
here is more than 1 fuse, the RD shows 2, F1 and F2
my online docs, are not so good, on all MB.
get the car scanned in any shop.
see the DTC error codes. next.
Question edited for a lot more clarity, and add maker.
Question moved to maker category.
These are all function of the Body Control Module. You need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer and access to factory technical bulletins.

No clues in here.
Immobilizers are designed to prevent what you are needing done. There is no easy way around it. Your best bet is to call a lock smith to cut you a new key and program it to work with your vehicle.
'bonnet', a fellow resident from UK, or maybe Australia. :>D
You normally can't disable alarms as there is a computer in-between the switch and the light on the dash. You have to fix the fault, not find a way around the problem.
The easy way is to connect a professional grade scan tool computer, check for codes and read the data that is registering the problem.
Full 'year make model' in all questions please. Some issues are known issues and can be searched.

limited info generic answer check and test battery -- most likely the key fob itself is failing you can have some one test fob or get another fob[s] and have programmed
