W202 C200 and C250
Not starting need help
Hi guys, been having a problem with my Merc c200, looked up a few things that seem similar but arent the cases for me.
the car wont start or crank or anything, I can insert the key, turn the steering wheel and all the light on dash work etc, when I turn the key to start it just turns and nothing happens.

Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

No crank - any cluster displays lighting up?
Battery? charge appropriately?
Any power to the windows or radio?

You said you're getting no crank so have you tested the starter?
When you turn the ignition key, can you hear any click? (starter relay)

Did you try to scan it? It could be multiple possibility.
