So just to rule out the battery i got my friend to jump start me, the lights very bright, but just a click... Not the Battery.

I believe the next step is the Starter Relay ? How would i know if it is broken or Damaged ? Where is it? i am not a mechanic!

i appreciate any help, i wish to pin point the issue before i get the garage involved $$$$$ (i live in Thailand and a white face in a S500 and the garage owner thinks he has won the lottery, the merc dealer is 50m away)

1) Can you put up pictures from a greater range? Provide a more panoramic view? The detail in the posted pics is great, but hard to visualize the location in the car. Where is the battery located? Pic?

2) Based on your highlighted statement about a jump battery, there is a good chance of either the battery positive (+) lead to the starter motor being corroded through, or, the starter solenoid has failed.
