I don’t know about that, all the electronics might not be happy. I did have the charger on it with the start mode on still no joy. I’ll do some more exploring tomorrow. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Nov 12, 2019, at 7:57 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > > If you've got a good hefty

I don't think so, the display in the dash shows it to be in "P" so that should be OK. I got the radio code from MBUSA and got the radio to come alive so that is some small progress. I tried to crank it again and got another Start Error msg.  Could not hear the starter solenoid clunk.  I am

I'd start with the starter, checking connections, including the engine ground strap. One day The White Whale ('87 300TD) failed to crank over, just a click from the starter solenoid. At some point in the diagnosis, I decided to make sure the engine wasn't locked up, so I crawled underneath

Yes I was going to check that.  I guess I should try to spin the engine with a wrench to make sure it will spin. --R On 11/12/19 3:26 PM, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: Check the ground straps.. bad ground makes it think "no electrons" and my experience is, people seldom check ground... "Clean,
