Ok, I stand corrected, 0v it is. One must hold their mouth right to place the meter where it holds itself while turning the key to start.
Also: *snip* You sure about that? Meter pins between engine block and battery "-" terminal, should be 0V. *snip* I'm not so sure anymore... This reading is also 0v. Now am I on my way to a dead starter?

The key is from _where_ you measure the voltage! The instructions were quite specific: between the battery + (plus, positive, etc.) terminal and the trigger terminal on the solenoid, WHILE CRANKING! That is not the 'normal' voltage type of measurement. If that measurement isn't 0 you can't be getting full engagement current to the solenoid, and maybe it won't engage the gears. -- Jim _______________________________________ 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 _______________________________________ 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
