Not to hijack, just trying to learn. My neighbor has had three crank sensors fail and I've had one. 98ML, 99ML, 04CLK. And I've read alot on the forums about these failing. I've never had one fail on my other MBs, knock on wood, just on the 98. So is this a failure phenomenon with only newer models? Is it heat that's killing them?
