Check battery connection first if connections are good try to spray some corrosion cleaner and make sure all cables are clear and clean! if all is good and still not working it may be a weak battery, check voltage on your battery or try to charge it for 45 minutes at 12v.
If battery is good and connections are good you need to move to diagnosis number 3...please advise me so we can continue...

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of the tip start cycle ending prior to the engine starting, this may be due to the tachometer momentarily jumping above 2000 rpm causing the starting procedure to be aborted before the engine starts. To resolve, perform the below steps.
1. Remove starter per WIS instructions below. 2. Lightly coat teeth of starter ring gear with paste, A000 989 76 51. Note: Only use the paste specified. Do not apply too much paste as it can cause interference with the signal picked up by position sensor L5. 3. Reinstall starter .The grease is very expensive and difficult to find.I spoke to my local MB service manager and was told I could use never seize.It worked great and I no longer have the problem.
