Hi everybody,
I bought a '95 W124 convertible (it's hot in DC) and I think it was a good deal. The car doesn't start at all since yesterday. What happened? I tried the amateur overwrite of the alarm (open the passenger door with master key). Didn't help. When I turn the key, I hear the fuel pump work. The courtesy light doesn' dimm dramatically when key turned, so I guess the starter gets no power...? Battery seems to be good, I connected even a jump starter to it to increase the starting power. No good. If it's the crank position sensor, shouldn't the starter at least turn? Shift lever was in P or N, didn't help. How about the ignition lock? Or how about slapping the starter? And did the W124 already have the computerized error code read-outs?
I know, too many questions, but I'm desperate.
Any help?
Harti.
