Any Ideas?
Greetings - having an intermitent problem (the worst type!)
98 ML w 180K miles. Ocassionally, every 20 - 25 starts when I turn the key I get NOTHING. I back the key off and try a second time and it always starts. I switched over to a new key and it made no difference. I had the ignition switch changed and it seems like it does not happen as often - maybe once every 35 starts. Its seems I remember one time just holding the key in the start position and saw the tach bounce? That seemed very strange. Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm not looking forward to a mechanic just starting to change out parts with no real diagnosis. Sarter? fuel relay? antenna ring? DAS ring? IFZ module? I don't know! Thanks in advance.

check the the battery cables, are they clean or all corroded?
kind of sounds like a ground. check the wires on the starter. and make sure the starter bolts are tight. I had a starter that got loose one time and gave me a problem, and other times it`s been a bad ground. charlie

Do you have the "computerized" key? The funny looking one that is all plastic and is flat on the end?
