1996 Mercedes E300
When turning the key to start, nothing happens.
Pulled the starter and ran voltage to it. The starter runs free.
Re-installed starter and ran voltage to small solenoid wire. The starter cranks fine.
I assume there is a relay that sends power to the solenoid whne the ignition key is turned.
Does anyone know where this relay is located?
Any help is very much apppreciated.

 

Sounds like you've already helped yourself! Let us know....

 

I now assume that I am on the right track, but I do not have
a wiring diagram for this car. I tried tracing the wire, but it
leads into a wire loom with others. If someone could lead me to
the relay then I can hopefully get this Mercedes running.
Thanks for any support.
