96sl2 starting problems
Greetings,
I am hoping someone can help me regarding my problem. My 96sl2 will on occasion, seems usually when it is hot, refuse to start. The symptoms at first appear to be a dead battery, with the typical "click click" instead of the engine turning over. The battery is new and I have removed the starter to see if it would work and sure enough it turns over fine. Additionally I have checked voltage to the starter and that is fine. My other thought might be the ignition switch??? Does anyone have any ideas DP |

Some other ideas: dirty contacts on battery posts or on the starter, bad
cable between battery and starter, defective Ignition key switch, bad starter relay, or bad/worn solenoid contacts. I'd say the first or last in the list are likely base on your description. Good luck. Bob > wrote in message oups.com... > Greetings, > > I am hoping someone can help me regarding my problem. My 96sl2 will on > occasion, seems usually when it is hot, refuse to start.

Bob,
Interesting input! All contacts are clean as a whistle. You mention a "starter relay". Do you have any idea where this is located and how it can be replaced?? My next guess was the ignition key switch. Has anyone ever replaced one of these? Is it a do it yourself job or something more significant? Thanks again D |
