Hi Guys,

I have a 99 C180 and when I turn the key nothing happens.

The engine doesnt even try to turn over. The battery seems fine as all lights radio and windows work.

I have tried bumping the car and it bumps fine and drives fine, But when i try to start it, it just wont.

Doesnt make any noises or signs of starting, you turn the key and nothing happens.
The only thing I can hear is 1 very low sounding noise like a small click coming from the passenger side footwell.

Can anyone please help me.

Thanks in advance

Gary

Either a solenoid to activate the starter motor or the starter motor itself gone kaput by the sounds of things. Best pop it in to a garage/local indie/vehicle electrician to let them have a look for you & confirm which it is I guess.

Cheers,
Mark
