I'd start with the starter, checking connections, including the engine ground
strap. One day The White Whale ('87 300TD) failed to crank over, just a click
from the starter solenoid. At some point in the diagnosis, I decided to make
sure the engine wasn't locked up, so I crawled underneath and put the wrench on
the crankshaft and... I could not turn it by hand! I was flabbergasted. I was
having a hard time accepting that the engine was locked up, so I decided to
pull the starter and get that tested.
So'nuf, bad starter had "locked" the engine, and all was right again in the
world once I had a new starter in place.
