Curt-on my 240D-I had to whack the starter-on it, it's passenger side down low half way back. Got it stuck it in the parking garage at work-no wrecker could really tow it out. Magic hammer worked.

'85 190D won't start. Specifically it won't crank. I hit the key, the solenoid clicks and nothing happens. I don't think its the battery: A. The battery is less than a month old and B. The lights come on and look normal and C. A jump with a boostpack didn't change the symptoms at all. I can tell you that 3 of us pushing it in the snowy flat driveway can't go fast enough to start it... The security guys at work have a Jeep Liberty and say they'd give me a tug if I had a strap. I own two straps, they're safely home in my garage. I called a friend who is going to Wal-Mart for me... Anyway I'd wack the starter with a hammer (I've had that work on American cars before) if I knew where it was... Pray tell where is the starter on this beastie? -Curt --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
