Default Can't get the car started 500 Sel

Got home and the car won't start. The same thing happen at the store the other day. I had to get the car towed home. I changed the battery. It started right up after I changed the battery. I thought that was the problem. I drove it for a few days and everything was fine. Now it has started doing the same thing, their is no sound but the dash lights come on when I turn the key. The radio and lights all work fine. Can anyone help me with this problem??

I am thinking the problem is the starter. The car seems like it having a hard time starting sometimes. The car runs fine for a few days and then all of sudden it won't start. I have gotten stuck at the store three times with this car.

so the engine doesnt start i thought the starter work but its wont run so this means that the starter is start to damage

u can replace if u want its better and u can find use clean one

in Saudi Arabia we have lots of mercedes used parts they r right weel and come from Japan and England u know the driving weel on the right so its only cut body and clean parts even engines


ask if u know a used parts places or buy a new one i dont think its coastly

I can buy a new or remanufacture one from the local auto store. You were saying it's under the car near the front right? The car is running fine right now. The problem does not happen everyday. Do you think it could be the remote control?
