Here's the scenario:
My 1992 500sl wouldn't start. The engine would crank but
wouldn't start. I noticed with the key turned to the final on position,
only the srs light was lit-no other idiots lights were on(which they should
befor the engine crank). The windows would not operate either.
after numerous attempts to start the car-i called mercedes roadside
assistance. Before they called me back, I checked fuses-no problem.
I finally turned the hey to full on-waited 20 secs, noticed that
the idiot lights finally came on cranked the engine-it started! I got
the car home but have been unable to start it. any ideas would be
appreciated. the car has 97K miles.
