Save time and aggravation by replacing the starter's solenoid right now and only use a BOSCH branded one NEW only no rebuilts .
If it does this one more time , remove the driver's side under dash cover and look closely as the electrical portion of the ignition switch ~ I'm betting it yellow n color and shouldn't be ~ the plastic should be white and have no visible cracks .
Also , unless your HVC has three round dials to control it or has an upgraded digital controller , do a major coolant service including flushing the heater core right now before it dies in traffic and co$t$ you well over $2,000.00 to set right again .
How do you like your W-116 so far ? . they're very nice cars .

We recently acquired a 1980 300sd with about 125k miles on the clock. First time out, we drove about 20 miles to town to get new tires. When the tech tried to start the car, nothing happened. No start, no turn over, no click. Nothing. Tried jumping. Nothing. Personnel pushed the car inside and put on new tires. Pushed car out. Contacted po and was told that the same thing had happened a couple of time in the past. Po said he thought it might be neutral safety switch. Car started after moving gear shift thru the gears several times. Ordered new switch. New switch came yesterday. No time to put it on. Drove car to town today and after refueling it would not start. Moved thru the gears many many time. No start. After several hours returned and the car started right up. Sounds like something electrical is heating up and not working. Does the neutral safety switch have any electronics inside? Could the started/solenoid be getting hot from driving? In the morning I am going to put the new switch on and see what happens. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated. I will post what happens after new switch and driving.
