2004 Sl500 won't crank
Relocated recently yo Tampa FL and got issues with my 2004 sl500, it simply won't crank. Car was seating for two months and bats on trickle chargers. I did check batteries and these are ok. Next, I did check starter relay and it does not have power on pin30 with keyfob in. In order to check the starter, I did send +12 VDC to it using a starter relay output pin (87) and crank super fast. But still, no engine crank using the key fob and or with the starter relay in place.
I did run my scanner but no codes.
What I have confirmed is working fine: Srarter, fuses (F29, F43) got this online, keyfob bat is new, trunk battery is new and crank battery is fine.
What I don't know:
- Why the starter relay (L) is not having power at pin (30) while the ignition keyfob is placed to start the engine. Will appreciate any help. jose427@gmail.com and or 787-560-3433.
God Bless.

Hi, I had an equal problem, I left my car running and the next day it did not start. The fault was the crankshaft sensor, I put it on again and the car started perfectly. To find that solution a friend put the diagnostic machine and She told us the car bug.

Hi;
First, thanks for your reply.
One quick one; Did your car starter engage but after cranking it won't start? Usually, this is the crank sensor. Mine just won't engage the starter thus any crank at all. I did run an OBD2 scanner without any codes.
I appreciate your reply and help !!!
