Om606 Failed starter motor? - BoostedW124 - 08-10-2017
Hello forum. My 1998 e300 w210 om606 td wont crank over. Turn key and click. Good battery verified. My hunch is starter motor but dont want to throw money at car without being sure. Any suggestions to further diagnose?

Tap the solenoid with a hammer (tap not a whack lol) it might free it up

Is it a click click click like battery is low or just one click that isn't too loud? Like a relay engaging.
If you shift to N does it crank over? These w210's have a few issues from what I've read/experienced.

Yes just one click like a relay. I heard the keys can wear out but i think mine is fine everything else electronic turns on with key. I guess ill have to take it out and bench test old fashioned way.

No i tried in neutral Also

The EIS (electronic ignition switch) can go out and cause that exact symptom.

I'm having the same issue but my problem is intermittent, it comes and goes randomly. The glow light and all electronic works but the engine won't crank.
Anyone know where to find a workshop manual for this? I know there is an online version for the w124.

Get a strong battery and jump starter relay---make sure its in park @ shifter and transmission

you can reach the + terminal on the starter if you remove the inlet manifold.
My 202 sometimes experiences this I cycle lock & unlock a few times when sat in the car once or twice and it cures it.
So my EIS is on it's way to being borked also.. Dam..

Ok i will remove intake manifold tomorrow and jump solenoid. I checked all fuses, just replaced brake switch although i dont see how that could cause no start and also removed and inspected k40 chip and all is correct. Thank you guys i will let you know soon.

I took off old starter and swapped in the spare from my w124 na diesel and it cranked and fired right up. Thank you all.
