Starters

The starter on your Mercedes vehicle is a device that works with your vehicle's battery to start your vehicle. A starter gets its name by what it does for a vehicle. It works by harnessing the power of the automotive battery. When you turn the key or push the button on your vehicle the starter motor turns the crankshaft which gets the pistons moving in the cylinders, thus beginning the starting process. Within the starter is a wire that carries the electric current to all the necessary parts of your vehicle. A bad starter could give you all kinds of starting troubles. If nothing happens when you try to start your vehicle the most common reason could be a dead battery. Another common problem could be a bad ignition switch or a problem with the alternator. When you have made sure these parts are functioning properly, you should check your starter. Some problems that can occur with the starter are a faulty starter motor, a loose solenoid or even a loose battery connection. When you need to purchase a new starter, it's important to remember that a starter is not a one size fits all part.
