2001 E430 4Matic starting problems
Hi
I am experiencing starting problems with my car. I was returning home from a road trip, stopped for gas after being in a line up on the interstate, the car refused to start after the fillup. I turned the key and no response, just a noise. I had a boost with no luck. I was towed to an independent MB repair shop where the starter, and the ME module were changed with still no luck to start the car. I was 900 miles from home so they installed a button on the dash to supply voltage to the starter circuitry to get the car started. I was able to make it home and get to a dealership which tried replacing the K40 module circuit board with still no luck. The repairs and troubleshooting were getting too expensive so I have taken a breather with garages for a while.
Anyone have any ideas? Stuck driving my car with a pushbutton to start it is no fun.
