1994 E320 Lost oil pressure reading, will not crank over

Hi,
Looking for some advice
Driving my 94 E320 the low oil buzzer came on. I pulled over, shut down and inspected engine. No leaks, oil level was fine. Went to restart car; no oil pressure reading, no fuel gauge reading and no water temp reading, all other electrics functing, except car will not crank over. I do not hear fuel pump kicking in and the low oil buzzer is still on? Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Amelia

Though the engine doesn't turn over, do you hear the starter engaging?

Worst case scenario, it is possible that oil pressure dropped low enough that the engine seized and now the starter can't break it loose. But I can't imagine that happening - it would be pretty rare. You need to make sure the battery and starter are healthy.

Alternatively, you can put a breaker bar on the crankshaft bolt and attempt to turn it over by hand. Make sure you go clockwise.

It's part of a sentence such as:


"That crank over there just posts little uninformative quips to try to make other people seem stupid, when in fact he is."


Does that clear it up?

Check fuse #5 in the fuse panel located in the engine compartment.
