2006 sl500 no start
Hello all, I have a 2006 SL500 about 142K KM. IT wont start at all when I turn the keys. I just hear a small clik, However, when I turn the ignition on and leave it on for a while then try to start it it starts fine and very strong.
I'd let to find the starter relay relay and test it but I can't find, Can anyone tell me where it is? I don't have an owners manual.
TIA

Green one.

Small click from the relay or the starter solenoid?

Where's the click coming from? If the relay is working then it's most likely the starter, which is not too expensive or hard to change.
