Re: [diesel_mercedes] Switch was not my problem...

Did you check the neutral safety switch? Try moving the transmission selector rapidly from "D" to park and see if it cranks. The bushings in the shifter get worn enough to keep the switch from closing and then the starter will not engage.

OK, back to intermittent zero action when I turn the key.

New starter, new switch...

Anyone know how much voltage is required to engage the solenoid?

Maybe I need a new battery LOL
