CG 270cdi

After a long day of driving our 2002 G, my wife tried to start it and while there is electricity to the radio, dash, everything else... when we click over to start, there is not a single noise. Nor is there a malfunction notice in the readout.

Has anyone seen this problem before?

Loads of stuff---with voltage applied directly to the starter---does the car start!

It's not at home, at a friend's house now. I'll be going over to check some things like the fuses soon.

Okay, so the starter fuse was blown.

I read on a forum that this might indicate that the starter is about to die. Does anyone else know what this could indicate?

I'm very far from a decent dealership or MB mechanic.

Update: We replaced the starter fuse and it is starting again. I'm wondering if the starter is failing but I'm not sure how to check.
