Was having battery drain problems at that time, but had no problems once the alarm was disabled. Car had been driving fine up until this event. My guess is I will have to trace all the circuits to find the culprit. Any advice on where to look, or do I connect the battery and start pulling fuses until I recognize a drop in draw; or, would it be easier to pull all the fuses and check the draw as I add each one back in? Since no fuse has blown, would this method even work? I am aware that chasing a short is a challenge, so I'm trying to figure out the best and most efficient method - other than taking it to a shop that specializes in Mercedes vehicles nearby.
