Car will not start
I have a 1992 400SE that will not start. About 4 months ago I had to replace the alternator and battery. About two weeks ago the car would not start it does not even try to turn over so I had it towed to the MB dealership and it started cranking up again. So I took it home and everything was fine for 2 days then same problem. I took it back to the dealer and had a new starter installed. Now a week later same problem it will not start. Any suggestions? Maybe something electrical?
