Sprinter error messages and system failures

My 2013 Mercedes Sprinter diesel with 225167 km is showing sporadic error messages and warning lights while driving. Audio and navigation systems are failing intermittently, and some control units are temporarily unresponsive. Engine diagnostics show a stored error. Could a defective cable connection to the BUS system be the cause?

That sounds like a headache! I've got a Sprinter too, and I had something similar going on a while back. System failure left and right, warning lights flashing like a Christmas tree, the whole shebang. Was it always happening, or just sometimes?

It's not consistent, which is frustrating. It appears to occur randomly. Did your issues also manifest sporadically, and were they primarily affecting auxiliary systems?

Bingo! Sporadic is the word. And yeah, mostly audio, nav, that kind of stuff. Drove me nuts. Honestly, I'd say just bite the bullet and get it to a decent workshop. Sounds like they need to check the cable connection to the control unit and the BUS system. They quoted me 155€ for the repair.

I appreciate the confirmation. I will proceed with a professional diagnosis and repair, specifically focusing on the BUS system cable connection. Thank you for sharing your experience.
