OK, I posted in the SL forum and not getting much response.

My car has been sitting in the garage for little over a month without starting. Since the eather is getting a little cooler here in Maryland so I decided to take it out. I put the key in, turned, and nothing!! All lights in the dash came on, but not a peep from the engine. The light on the roll bar kept blinking and peeping. That's about all I got. I checked everything and all are operational, windows work, roll bar works, radio works, AC works. What happened? I need help!!

I thought it was the battery at first. I put a trickle charger on the car for over twelve hours and I even jumped the car. Still no start. BTW, the battery was replaced in May 2001.

Does that sound like my starter craps out? BTW, what are the symptoms if it is my starter. I can't even get the car to a shop. I am completely lost as to what to look for.

i guess your talking about an 87 w124
which would probably be a 300e...

so if your car is a gas car then you check for fire and fuel

does the car even attempt to crank.... is there any conbustion


if there is some conbustion it signals that the spark plugs and the electrical system is somewhat working.....

so that would lead you to a fuel problem..... this could be a fuel pump or
clogged fuel filter problem....



so which is it.... is there even the tinnest combustion or no conbustion at all.

it sounds like a fairly new sl.

the battery could be bad. i prob would take it out and have it tested. or call the wrecker.
