GL 450 2015
My Kickstarter for my GL450 2016 keeps Burning out

I am extremely frustrated, I am currently on my 5th kickstarter, when it’s changed, everything is fine for a few weeks, then suddenly, it stops working, after a few tries to start the engine, it literally that smoking. We have changed the crank sensor, kickstarter and even tried using the car without the push to start. All to no avail, it just keeps burning out. Please help !!!

That is not normal something is sorting it out and especially if there is smoking, what codes was reported by your vehicle?

@MJ50 This year (2016) is not X164. I believe it is X166.

Is it chinese starter of eBay or Amazon? Also if your car has eco mode (turns itself off on idle) starter number and design is different from regular car
