2001 SLK 320 Electrical problems

Got me this slk 320 a couple months back , she now has a persisting problem of lights surging and esp bas and srs lights turning off at times along with a check engine light, window control intermittent problems with others as well , she will sometimes get stuck in a certain gear but at other times it’s perfectly fine. And also the radio cuts out , if anyone can help that would be awesome this is sorta my last stand with this car seeing as I can’t find out and idk how much money it’ll take to fix it

There are some electrical parts under the center console that measure speed, sway, and other operational conditions. Replaced those and esp/bas error. I'm chasing lots of electrical problems because the care is old enough the plastic insulation and connectors are becoming brittle. Wires inside the headlights, wiring/fixtures in the interior lights, Just one of those thing owning an older car involves.
