Hey Guys,

i have a 2012 c250 that was working fine last night. Went to start it up for work this morning and it would not start! It has 43k miles on it and im pretty sure i did not leave any lights or anything on that would drain the battery.

only thing i can think of but not sure how it would affect anything, is i jump started another car two days back and after jumping my car sounded like it had trouble starting up but it still started.

this morning, lights and radio were able to come on but when i turned the key there were no clicks, and no signs of attempting to start up.

will warranty cover the battery?

Warranty usually doesn't cover the battery.
Sounds like you have an issue with the key, or the EIS. Try your second key and see if it starts the vehicle.

Thanks for the reply, ill check using the soare key when i get home. I would assume the EIS would be covered by warranty? Hopefully the key as well since i hear it can cost a couple hundred bucks for one

I read somewhere in this forum that jump starting can damage the SAM module. You might search under "jump starting". At any rate, STAR diagnostics should find the fault and it should be covered by the warranty.

This has happened to me once. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and it started again. Hasn't done it again since.

thanks for all the replies, so i scheduled an appointment with my local dealer to take a look at it. tow truck came to tow it after two days of sitting out and not starting, and what do you know.... IT STARTS! decided not to have him bring it in and that id take the risk since i needed it for work.

havent had any issues since
