I may have related this story previously. Cannot recall. My father had the opposite happen to him. He pulled into a gas station with a truck with a small dozer on the back and asked them to fill both the truck and the dozer. He went into the store and when he went to pay for the gas the fellow

I’ve never tried it, but would and an inner tube work in the same manner? Place under car, blow up with portable air compressor, place jack stands, get the work done, remove. Or just use a floor jack. > On Dec 3, 2018, at 10:29 AM, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes > wrote: > > Yes. Weirdly I have

You’re really limited on this car as to what the problem can be: Battery (not) Neutral safety switch (not) Solenoid Starter Get a piece of wood, long ratchet extension or baseball bat and give the starter and solenoid a good 2-3 smacks, real hard. I’m betting the solenoid is stuck or hung up.
