ignition

My 2005 W203 recently developed a start-up issue, but I am not sure what's the exact problem. Normally, when I insert the key and turn to position 2, the dash panel should instantly light up. However, sometimes the dash panel doesn't light up at all; or it delays for a few seconds before...

Hope one of you gents can shed light on this problem. I am trying to test a 220 engine from a 1964 220SE w111. I'm using the electrics from another old Merc to supply the spark. So, I've basically wired up the starter and coil from the other car. I find that I can see a spark on the plugs when...

Hi I've recently acquired a W215 for a knock down price as a fixer-upper. I think I've now sorted the ABC issues, but there's one vexing issue: When I start the ignition, the passenger window opens fully. WTF? This is like Alfa Romeo electrics. I've replaced the motor as I had a spare, but...

The car is a '98 W210 E55. Yesterday evening in the car park it would not start (finally got it home on the back of a truck at 4 a.m, but that's another story). It turns over just fine on the key, very rapidly indeed with a new battery connected, but no start. I can move the gear selector as...
