I'm looking at a car in Atlanta that one day just decided it didn't want to start. When the key is turned nothing happens, no noises, etc. The owner tried starting it in neutral, and has cranked the engine over by hand. What do you guys think is the problem?
If I could make arrangements for a trailer I wouldn't be asking this, but I can't find someone with a truck that can pull a car trailer. I'm willing to take a chance that I can start it by either pull starting it or manually 'jumping' the starter. I know that there is a way to engage the starter by fiddling under the hood, but I'm not sure what needs to be done. I believe it involves the terminal block underneath the battery (on the W116 at least). Do I just need to apply 12V to the solenoid on the starter? How much current does it need to handle (ie, how big of a wire)? Is there a place on the rear of my W124 where I can safely attach a tow strap? Just for pull starting of course! Thanks!
