1998 C280 Won't Start
Hey Guys...Newbee signing in.
Just have a little problem with my 1998 C280. I drove it last night and this morning it wont start. I turned on everything like lights,wiper,radio,fan and it all works at the same time so maybe its not the battery. Does anybody have an idea of what might be wrong. Any help is most definitely appreciated. THNX!!!! |

A weak battery will run that stuff fairly easily, the starter draws far more power. What happens when you try to crank? If nothing happens (nothing dims or slows etc...) then the starter solenoid may be sticking, preventing it from starting.

Charge the battery for 12 hrs and try again.
