Some Mercedes-Benz CL500 owners report experiencing complete electrical power loss affecting door locks, lamps, and ignition, even with a fully charged battery. This issue may stem from a weak or dead key fob battery, which can prevent the fob from transmitting the necessary signal for the door locks. Additionally, problems with the electric switches in the driver's door can lead to malfunctions in windows, mirrors, and automatic door features. Some owners have also noted that a blown door control module fuse may indicate issues with the door control module itself. Furthermore, a broken power wire within the harness between the driver's door and the vehicle can disrupt electrical functions. To troubleshoot this problem, it is recommended that owners check the key fob battery, inspect the electric switches, examine the door control module fuse, and investigate the power wire in the harness.
