01 c320 only has 34,000 miles. The battery started going dead randolmy, over night, sometimes 4-5 days. One morning it just wouldn't start, cranked over fine, but no fire. Tested battery with volt meter, 12.2 volts. Tested under load, drops between good and weak. Tested fluid in cells, all were bad. Got new battery, still cranks over fine but won't start. Alarm went off when connecting new battery, put key in igniction and stopped. Locked and unlocked doors to reset. Still won't start. No malfunctions on dash appear. It's been a month and can't figure it out, please help? Refuse to take to the dealer.

Dang,

Maybe I'll have to get one for each tech, I just tried the demo and typed in no start, it came up with the reasonable guess: crank sensor.

Actually I'd probably want to check FP first.

Cranks but won't start on a V6 engine is as Steve stated..flywheel crank sensor..

Dead battery on a W203 C-class is usually a bad seat module.. maybe both seat modules..
