W220 intermittent no-crank (yet another!)
 
'01 W220. sometimes when the car is cold the starter will not crank when the key is turned. after a few tries it catches, engine cranks and fires right up.

I suspect a relay. I've searched around quite a bit and have read about the K40 relay. is this also the starter relay?? or is there a separate starter relay?? where are these relays located on an '01 W220?

besides the relay, is there anything else I should be looking at?

thanks!

Next time it wont crank, try shifting to nuetral adn then trying agian.

If that helps, the problem is the nuetral safety switch beneath the shifter.

happened to me a few times, but recently haven't occured

so I didn't bother looking at the cause.

EDIT: wait a min W220 is nothing like a W202. :silly:
