Hello everyone,
Two days ago my 96 E320 just died out on me. I stopped to get some food at my favourite restaurant, went back to the car, and it wouldnt start. All I hear is a clicking noise, and it wont even attempt to crank. My battery seems okay, all the interior lights, music, and headlights are running strong. The alternator was replaced a little less than a year ago. So I am beginning to think it is the starter. Long story short, I had my car towed home, now I'm just trying to diagnose the problem before I get it towed to a shop and be at their mercy.
I read alot of forums before posting this thread, many people have had similar problems, stating it was the starter, the CPS sensor, or something about the key??
I've tried a few things some buddies have recommended, someone told me to start the car in neutral, and someone told me hit the starter with a broom to get it going. The thing is I cant even find the starter under my hood, it seems hidden somewhere! I cant get my car started, I even attempted to boost it, with no luck!
So if anyone could give me some feedback on what they think it could be and anyone who has posted a past thread with the same issue, how did it turn out? Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated
