So i asked My Rewire to help me check why my car was draining the battery, and he said that he would install one device like that that would shut down the system when I parked the car.
The issue now is the car is not starting again, I asked him to return the car to the previous state but still not cranking.
I noticed that the red security light still blinks even when the keyfob is in the ignition.
When I start the car I see REDUCED BREAKING POWER START THE ENGINE showing on the dashboard but the engine won't start.
Someone said that it could be that the secondary battery of the car is low and that we should charge it, that that could cause the problem.
Right now I am so perplexed, don't know how just a simple fix can affect the car not starting.

Immobilizer issues. ECU no longer recognises the key. You may have to reprogram it. Scan the car, It will point you in the right direction

How is that possible? The key turns in the ignition and all the dashboard lights come up and other car lights,it's for the engine to start is where the problem is

Exactly. That's typical Immobilizer. Scan the car.

I wish I saw this earlier, would have taken the pics. the security light is a small black device very close to where the light switch is,just on top.
The car was scanned today and got this code Mercedes Benz v46.70
When i googled that code it brought pictures of an ignition coil.

This is surely not the code
That's the version of software for Mercedes Benz installed the scanner.

The expected code should be something like
Pxxx, Bxxx, Cxxx etc like that

e.g. P0300, P0018 etc

Sometimes when there is an issue with the ABS/ESP/SBC, you get that notification on thr dashboard.

Does the instrument cluster show the gear the transmission? I mean is the cluster showing kf it in Park or Reverse or Neutral, drive etc?

You are very very very right. The security was faulty so I asked the rewire to remove it,then it started a little then stopped,so we reprogrammed the car and everything started working fine. Thanks a lot.

Come and pay your tithe.

The vehicle has told you and your rewire to go and sin no more.
