    Sunds like you have a problem with the PSE. Its located in the trunk of the car on th passanger side. Its prone to water damage. You might check it out. Bad news is its about 400 brand new and hard to find used. You can do the work your self though its very easy. you can find detailed instructions how on SLKworld.com

    I had the same problem. PSE pump is the answer. It is quite expensive but will solve the problem. You need to make sure if you take the battery cables off you remove the negative cable first then the hot and put them back on in reverse order or you will send false signals to the computer and the srs airbag light and check engine light will come on.

    The PSE pump be sure to check the seals around trunk window area and back lights, that maybe letting the water get in and the drain hose area in trunk is cleaned. If there is a seal leaking and you dont know it ~ guess what you maybe replacing the PSE pump agian down the road.Also place the pump upside down this time when installing.
