Thanks, Phillip et. all for the suggestions. I'm led to believe the problem is solenoid related. See below where I find 12.8v everywhere in the system when resting and cranking.
Luther *snip* That is the best option. Measure the system. I would want to know the * battery voltage at rest 12.8V * battery voltage when cranking 12.8V * voltage drop between the starter and the battery "+" when cranking 0.0V * voltage between the engine "ground" and battery "-" when cranking 12.8V * voltage between the small trigger terminal on the selonoid and the battery "+" when cranking. 12.8V -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
