Cold Start Issues?
I have a 99 CLK430....I've noticed this winter when it gets really cold my car struggles to start. Usually its the first crank (won't start) and if I try again it starts right up. This morning temps are in the low Teens and the car won't turn over at all. Battery appears to be fine. Any ideas?

MBWorld Fanatic!
These are conflicting statements.
"Turn over" means the starter will operate.
"Turn over" does NOT refer to whether the motor starts.
If the starter won't operate, the battery is NOT fine.
The fact a battery will light lights is irrelevant to whether it will operate a starter motor.
