Car Wont Start When Wet
2002 G500 20k
IN THE RAIN OR AFTER CARWASH, CAR WONT START. TURN THE KEY AND THERE IS JUST 1 CLICK, IF IT DOSNT START ON THE SECOND TRY, TURNING THE KEY WONT TRIGGER THE STARTER FOR ATLEAST 10 MINUTES....SERVICED 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND DEALER CANT FIND CAUSE. THEY CONTACTED T.A.C. AND STILL CANT FIX. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE
HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM?

Yikes
I've never heard of that problem, but it sure doesn't sound good. Have you tried writing to Mercedes directly and advise them of the situation?

I see you're from NY. If you're getting it serviced by a certain dealer near the Javits Center, there have been some stories about their not being able to fix problems with a G even after multiple visits.
Also, please turn off your CAPS. Your messages will be a lot easier to read.
