- If your 2011 Mercedes Benz C300 is not starting, there's no communication, and there's water in the car, it sounds like you may be dealing with a number of interconnected problems. Here's a step by step guide on how to proceed:
Assess the Water Damage: The first step is to assess the extent of the water damage. This can range from a minor leak to severe flooding. If the car has been submerged or the interior is very wet, it is important to dry it out as quickly as possible to prevent further damage and potential mold growth. Use towels, wet-dry vacuums, and fans to dry the interior.
Electrical System Check: Water can cause serious damage to the car's electrical system. Check all the electrical components in the car including the dashboard, lights, radio, etc. If water has entered the fuse box or electronic control units (ECUs), it could cause the car to not start or affect communication systems. It's best to have a professional mechanic or electrician inspect these if you're not comfortable doing so yourself.
Battery Check: Check the battery and the battery connections. Clean any corrosion and make sure the connections are tight. If the battery is old or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Engine Check: If the engine is not starting, there could be several reasons. Check for a spark, proper fuel supply, and compression. If there is a problem with any of these, the engine may not start.
Diagnostic Scan: If the car still does not start, you should consider getting a diagnostic scan. A scan tool can help identify any error codes that may indicate where the problem lies.
Professional Help: If all else fails, or if the problems are beyond your ability to fix, it may be time to call in a professional. Depending on the extent of the water damage, it may be more cost-effective to consider whether to repair the car or replace it.
Remember, safety first. If you're not comfortable with these steps or if the car doesn't start after these checks, it would be best to consult with a professional mechanic.

This is the only video I found on the whole RUclips that is actually helpful! I would appreciate if you could give me any knowledge to my issue of water getting in my car. Transmission won’t shift and cluster is still dead. No power. But car does start.
What are the names of the two devices from underneath the door panel ?
I have a 2009 c300 Mercedes v6 my Drain in my car sunroof was clogged which caused water to collect in my carpet on passenger side. At first my car was good everything worked great until one day my cluster just went blank no gas no miles no nothing. I tried to diagnose but no luck. I disconnect my battery for 4 days without plugging it in. I plug it after 4 days passed my car still turned on expect my transmission doesn’t shift at all. I can go into drive and reverse but it’s really hard and won’t shift out of 1st gear. Any knowledge you can give me? I’d appreciate it.
how do you connect the boxes?

Hello. I just came across your video.
Came up one morning and tried to start my 2009 w204 c300 and found my driver's side parking light on. I tried to start the car and all lights came on without the engine cranking like the one on the video. It rained heavily all through the previous day.
I noticed that due to the parking light which was on all through the night, it ran down my battery. How doni solve this issue?
1-clean the water drainer by the sunroof
2- dry the water and change the can connectors

شكرا ي هندسه
من اين أتت الماء إلى الداخل
Where did you order the new cans
from the dealer you have to take the number on the part and give it to them they need it to get the exact one
I dropped 2 gallons of water at the passenger side. It stalled my car. I cant turn it on. Still wet in that area.
Vacuum it and Let it dry
