If the reverse gear falls inline and there is no fault in the shift the fault is with the reverse gear sensor switch. If you have confirmed there is no voltage to the bulb assembly at the rear, check the ground and the +B, if not there is no supply line from the reverse switch and it can be defective. Also check and trace the wiring harness line to the switch as this can be open or damaged.

Only radio and some trouble codes can be cleared.If you have no warning lamps illuminated (such as MIL)
you can remove and charge the battery.

There is a discussion on this very issue here:http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=67938You need to open the bonnet/hood, identify the black plastic cover just inside the wing, flip up the top and connect your charger's plus terminal to the positive connector in there. You can attach the negative anywhere on the vehicle's metal body. Once connected, you should then have power to the car.

the voltage will be less than 12 volts, the battery will fail a load test.
