[diesel_mercedes] Re: Neutral safety switch and shifter jamming.

 

I had the non-starting issue with my 84 300sd. It would not start about 5% of the time, especially when engine had run for a while. I was able to bypass the NSS by directly jumping the starter (people have writen about this beforehere). ALso there was always a click when it failed to start. Eventually it started only when I hit the starter with a wrench before starting. It pointed to the starter, and after replacing it about 2 weeks ago...no problem so far. ALthough I don't like that I had to use a NAPA starter, but the remanufactured one was a Bosch. Hope it lasts a while.

Just had a case of not starting and then pushing the car into a parking space and then it started. It's my wife's car and I experienced the not starting once and it was solved by jiggling the shifter. Lawrence Rhodes
