s550 2008 will not Crank but all lights are on .PLEASE HELP
Good day All :
Can some one please assist me ?
I have a 2008 S-550 ..Few days ago I was driving ..Stooped for a coffee
Then I try to start the car and it will not Crank !!! all the lights are on .
I tested the front Battery and the back and they show Strong Voltage !!
I Tap'd on the Starter and try to start but no luck !
Mercedes Dealer did scan and it show'd nothing wrong !!
I am Scared if it the Engine seized
... that's a lot of Money but if it did .. it should Crank !!
Also ...Could it be a fuel Issue ??
If we change the Starter and it is still not cranking , what shall I do ?
Thx

my car did the same thing when the front battery died. Freaked me out then someone here told me to replace the front battery so I did. Works like a champ.
See if you can jump start the car from the front terminal to confirm.

Yea they are... Also other signs that they're bad , it keeps popping the starter fuse due to internal failure..

My 2007 S was still on its original battery up until a month ago. When it died, I had the same symptoms. Lights are on, but no crank, not even a peep. I took the battery out and charged it up, still no go. Only a jump or replacing it solved the issue. If your battery is older than 3 or 4 years, I'd replace it first before jumping to the starter as an issue.

It is a rare occurrence and it always happens while the engine is turning.
I am one more of those who has seen everything light up, no crank, new battery, all solved.

folks does this sound about right ? Can a clogged fuel filter cos all these problems? All relays looks good.
personally, I don’t see the correlation of the starter with the fuel pump or the fuel filter. Please help. Let me know what you guys think .

so, I replaced the starter and the fuel pump about a week ago, fives days later while trying to start the car, no crank no start. I noticed the fuel pump fuse, the 30a fuse at the back seat was blown. Replaced the fuse and blew again as soon as I tried to start the car. Towed to the mechanic, he said I will need to replace the starter again, because it burnt out again, and also, I will need a new fuel pump and now a fuel filter. He said he noticed the fuel filter at the left back seat was clogged up.

yes, the car worked perfectly for five days after I first replaced the starter and the fuel pump. Then, the car wouldn’t start again. Same exact symptoms from the first time. No start, no crack. Also worth mentioned, I had to replace both car batteries ( front and back) a week ago too.

How handy You are Yourself?
I was always getting bull**** diagnostics at the dealership, so decided to repair it myself.

please, if anybody have any clue what else to do. I’ve spent roughly $1,800 for parts and labor in the last two weeks. Please, help. What can you think off to be going on? Seems electrical/ circuit shorts??

I’m not that handy. You won’t believe this. After the mechanic fixed the car for the second time within two weeks, I had to replace the starter(Used) and fuel pump(brand new) again and also replaced the fuel filter/ sending unit (brand new) also replaced the rear SAM this time around. Car drove fine for four days and this evening, the car won’t start or crank over again. This just happened today. It’s dark outside now but I will check in the morning to see if the same fuse 30a for the fuel pump is blown again. But for now, all interior lights coming on when push button is pressed just no crank and no start.
