  1. After only a few starts, it's safe to assume the battery is dead. Starting drains a significant amount of juice, so simply turning it on and running won't replenish the charge. Once the battery is fully charged, it's a good idea to perform a parasitic drain test. Make sure to charge it thoroughly.

  3. My phone still won't pair with CarPlay, even after buying a data-only cable. Bluetooth is functional. the prior owner did not link their vehicle to CarPlay. I'm confused about how to fix this.
  4. Is this an issue with just one door, and does opening the door switch on the inside light? This is completely conjectural, but I'm wondering if lubricating the door jamb switch might fix it.
  5. Sure, I'm grateful. What I have discovered is this: Problems and Their Solutions Most often, a faulty brake light switch is to blame when the main light comes on but the speedometer remains unset. Two individual circuits make up the switch. The first one activates the brake lights, and the second one signals to the cruise control system that you aren't applying the brakes. If the second circuit doesn't work, the vehicle will assume you're braking and won't set. Verify that the brake lights are functioning properly; however, keep in mind that a faulty internal switch for the cruise control may be present even if the outside lights are operational. In most cases, you can fix the problem by replacing this cheap switch that is located above the brake pedal. A secondary clutch pedal switch informs the engine computer if the clutch is engaged, which is only present in Sorentos with manual transmissions. The cruise control will not allow you to select a speed if this switch is malfunctioning or not properly positioned. Problems with the "SET / COAST" or "+" / "-" rocker switches on the steering wheel could be due to loose wire ribbons or worn internal contacts; however, the master power button is functional and illuminates the dashboard. The vehicle's computer will prevent the cruise control from engaging if the speed sensor fails to provide a consistent reading. Suggested Following Actions To check the brake lights, either have someone else hold the rearview mirror while you press down on the brake pedal, or go around to a reflective surface. Connect an OBD2 scanner to your Sorento. A broken brake switch or cruise circuit can still cause the body or powertrain computer to store specific fault codes, even when the check engine light is not on.
  6. Have you been diligently following these steps: Using the Cruise Control Buttons: A Quick Guide Turn the system on or off by pressing this main button. On your dashboard, you'll see an indicator light. SET / -: Press or pull the toggle/lever down toward SET- to lock in your desired speed after you've reached it (must be above 20 mph / 30 km/h). To increase your set speed or return to your previous speed after braking, push the toggle or lever up toward RES+.
  7. The charging stations being set up at my nearby Lidl are situated in the four parking spots nearest to the entrance, resulting in significant competition for their use.
  8. A few chargers are presently being set up at my nearby Lidl. The decision to install chargers at supermarkets has always appeared to be an unusual choice, yet it likely provides some assistance to those lacking dedicated home charging.
  9. Good morning, I attempted to investigate but was unable to locate a definitive response. I possess a 2018 GLC AMG Line (neither premium nor premium plus) and I intend to install ambient lighting around the center console and door trims. I am solely focused on the three colours to maintain the vehicle's original equipment manufacturer appearance. I have successfully located and procured matching door trim panels with the same finish as the light strips (A2057201880, A2057307622, A2057201780, and A2057300522) from a 2019 GLC. Locating the door trims equipped with LED strips that lacked premium audio and memory seat features proved challenging. Is there a connector present in the door looms for these strips, and can they be activated via a computer to display on the command screen? Is it feasible to retrofit solely the tubes in the center console (essentially slotting them in), or would it necessitate acquiring an entire center console from a vehicle equipped with the ambient package? My vehicle is equipped with orange illumination beneath the door handles and in the footwell, as well as puddle lights. Is there anyone who can confirm whether the illuminated sills or door plates I acquired would be compatible for plug-and-play installation with the appropriate wiring harnesses? My doors are equipped with illumination on the exterior and a puddle light below.
  10. Ensure the battery is completely charged and verify that the terminals are firmly fastened. Upon complete charging, if it fails to start, it is essential to have the fault codes analysed to determine the problem. A Mercedes expert is undoubtedly ideal, yet you might require a mobile mechanic or electrician equipped with a code reader to diagnose the issue.
  11. Was the USB-C port still functional when Halfords returned the vehicle to you, or did it fail at the same time as their work?
  12. The scope of the warranty determines the answer to the last question. Unplugging is often not done. Is one more memory stick not working?
