The only thing that comes to mind is the fuel cap. The management system is designed to flash a warning for 2 key cylcles and then remain constant to warn driver if the gas cap is loose, P0440 will then be stored in the hard drive(major leak in evap. system) Are you having fuel put in the vehicle at the time the light is coming on? You should have the vehicle scanned for codes at an authorized repair shop.

It's located on the left hand side kick panel underneath the dash. It's right where the door meets the frame of the car

Okay, your dealer or the person who sold the car to you should give you that information or be able to get it for you. If not, get the serial number for your radio (on the back of the radio) and your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) , write them down and post your request on this forum: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/audio-telematics-forum/1254230-need-radio-code-4.html

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

The main dealer will supply the code usually for a small charge.
Have a look on line first though because some are offered freely .
You will need the model year and chassis number.

In most cases this problem is caused by the rotating ribbon circuit contact under the steering wheel having a broken filament (ribbon type connector), the part is known as a clock spring contact, u will need to properly disarm the airbag and remove the steering wheel to access the part.

You need to have your plugs and wires replaced.

I am in Virginia but I believe you vehicle is showing a monitors not ready for Catalyst & Evap. If that is correct you need to basically drive the car a few days. The computer will remonitor itself and should be fine following that. Most drive cycles require highway driving & city driving. Make sure you turn on a/c as well. Its not how many miles you drive but what conditions you drive that sets you monitors. You could locate the drive cycle and attempt to replicate it but its usually very difficult drive exactly as the cycle asks. Good luck.

SOUNDS LIKE A BAD RELAY

Why would you need two?

I suggest you try one of those instant download manuals. My brother ( a mechanic) buys it when he can't fix some technical issue He buys from www.reliable-store.com . A lot of mechanics actually do this. Website is very good for this. Must try it !!

most Mercedes cars mechanics are pretty bullet proof but as in all cars you do get bad ones no car is totally reliable the only problem Mercedes had was the rust problem which they have now solved but now as all cars they have filled them up with electronic gismos so there is something else to go wrong

depending on the amount/location of damage to the vehicle you could have damaged the wiring harness leading to blown fuses, or damaged important sensors/relays that, if damaged, wont allow the vehicle to start. or you could have tripped the rollover switch which cuts the power to the engine in the event of a rollover to help prevent fires. but can be set off if damaged or hit hard enough. Start checking fuses and wiring on the damaged part of the vehicle. I hope this info helps.

all vehicles are negative to ground

So you have no other option but to jump start the car, by finding power cables in engine bay or pribe open the trunk with a crow bar, or have i towed to a auto shop so a professionel locksmith can open the trunk for you.
