Car won’t start

Asked by Shabrian Dec 11, 2018 at 01:50 PM about the 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2010 Mercedes C300, I put the key
in the ignition and the dashboard comes on
as usual, I can turn the lights on inside of the
car as well but when I turn the key to crank it
nothing happens as if I didn’t turn the key at
all except the dashboard light does go off. I
tried to give the car a jump several times and
still got no response from the car. I need
advice on what the problem could be

Due to fuel filter Mercedes Won’t Start. 5- Check engine fault codes. 6- Check the Starter Motor. For the Problem of Starter Motor Mercedes won’t start. 7- Check the Ignition system, Spark Plugs/Coils. 8- Check Crankshaft position sensor.
