Intermittent starting trouble
Hello, I own a 2011 GL450 that has started to give me trouble starting. The symptom is that nothing happens when the key is turned. After turning on the radio or lights, it usually starts, but sometimes it takes 5, 10, 15, 20 tries before it starts.
We thought the cold, or the damp weather was to blame, but it's now warm and we still have the problem. Any help would be appreciated HUGELY |
When it does start does it crank weakly or normal?
First I would check all the connections between the battery and the starter including grounds. |

Bad connection (somewhere), bad starter, or bad switch (less likely as the starter is actually controlled by the cars processor and not the switch directly.)
Connections are cheapest fix, after that I would move to the starter. |
