W164 NO CRANK NO START??
Hi all,
Got a 2009 ML320 CDI, I’ve just rebuilt the conductor plate on it and it’s been sitting for around a year.
I’ve connected a new battery and the car has power the ignition works as it should but will not turn over when key is turned, I have jumped the starter motor and it turns fine any advice is greatly appreciated.
I’ve checked basic stuff like fuses etc I can hear the fuel pump prime when ignition is in position 2
thanks all as am scratching my head

i had similar behavior but not on ML, my problem was connector on started rusted / oxidized and starter was getting less current and at some point refused to turn fuse was fine... i was keep trying till i got smoke for stater wire and then fuse poped... replaced starter and all was good though then found out that starter was fine just needed very good connector cleaning.
I would check if starter gets voltage or not, is not go to relay and see whats happens there both signal and power terminals
