Have a 1999 CLK 320 which has covered 40,000 miles.

Tried to start the car this morning and just a click sound whenever I turned the key. The lights and all the electrics work including the radio so it cant be the battery. Tried it several times and like I said all I get is a click sound when trying to start it.

Anyone out there have a similar experience or any ideas on what it might be?

ty in advance for any help.

 

try moving the battery cable connections.

it's still a battery problem.

 

Did check the connections and they are on tight as can be. I am going to remove the battery to charge it tonight, is there anything to be aware of. Will everything work ok after I put the battery back in?

Also how long to charge it for, things not as simple as the old days lol.

Ty in advance for any info

 

if battery voltage drops below 9.5 volts it wont let the car start have the bettery test at your local parts store or even call mercedes roadside assistance out they well jump it for you at no charge.
