Hello and welcome,

Items not shutting down in an S-Class is quite common unfortunately :(

I'd be looking at the Comand system and pulling the fuse to see if that resolves (or at least identifies) the issue. Usually something preventing the canbus shutting down - can also be damp in pax footwell :(

First you need to determine: is it the battery or the car? So one day disconnect the negative battery lead (be careful to wrap something around the disconnected lead) to stop it shorting on the body). Then leave the vehicle the same length of time. If possible monitor the battery with a volt meter. Reconnect the next day and see if the battery is flat again. If it is flat, the fault is in the battery. If not, the fault is in the car.

Hello, I had the same issue with mine. Turned out to be the ac blower fuse that was blown. Replaced it and never got a problem again.
