I parked my C Class on Xmas Eve, returned Boxing day to find the battery was totally flat. I thought I may have left the tailgate slightly open so assumed the load space area lights had caused the damage. I jumped started the car drove for about ten miles and returned the car to to driveway. The battery again went flat, I removed the battery to recharge, replaced the car started fine, took it to my local garage where they checked the battery and whether the car was charging, both okay. 3 / 4 hours later I went to the car again the battery was flat. To eliminate the battery my local garage loaned me a battery this I fitted to the car, 3 /4 hours later the battery was again flat.
The only clue given by the on-board computer to the cause, the first time the battery went flat a message appeared on the dash, 'Malfunction 1 light sensor go to workshop' or words to that effect.
Has anyone had a similar experience? What is the cure?
