Mike,

I just jump started the car from the started terminals, so the problem must be electrical, a broken wire, bad relay or ignition switch .
I recall a simular problem many years ago with another MB and replacing the ignition switch solved the problem.
This problem started with a slight delay in starting and having to hold the key in the start postion an extra few seconds before the engine would turn over, then 4 or 5 seconds and now no response at the key.
