My 2014 B-class has a dead (12v) battery (as well as other problems preventing it from being operational). The dealership wasn't able to fix it, but they "manually put it into neutral" so that I could tow it home. When I got it home I connected it to jumper cables so that I could open the...

My B-class refused to start, so I brought it in to the dealer. Apparently the "charging unit" went bad and needs to be replaced to the tune of $10k! I'm looking around to see if I can find a second hand unit, or some alternative that is functionally equivalent that might be cheaper (i.e...

I used a simple analog circuit and some off-the shelf components to make a charge port illuminator. It turns on when the charge port door is opened, and stays lit for about 20 seconds before fading out. It took about an hour (longer if you are not comfortable soldering) and cost under $20. I...

I spent the past week looking to get a bargain on a 2014. I'm in the SF bay area and the supply was quickly diminishing. I had to expand my search and ended up purchasing from a dealer in NY. MSRP $49,670 dealer knocked it down to $37,000. I'll have to pay about $1k for shipping it across...
