Sounds to be a loose or corroded wire/s at either starter motor or at battery fusible links.
Also check the earth strap (Cable) between engine and bodywork.
Hope this helps, MMP

SOURCE: Transmission wont shift out of park

Try checking the brake light sending unit. Are your brake lights even working. Many newer vehincles will not shift out of park unless the brake pedal is depressed. However, a faulty sendind unit located on the pedal itself can keep you from moving anywhere. Just check to see if your brake lights are working to know if the sending unit is working.

SOURCE: how do you reset the check engine light on a

I'm no expert, but I have had a similar problem. A friend told me to turn the key in the ignition 7 times consecutively and it will reset. I tried it and it worked bad news was it was only for about a hundred miles or a few starts. In otherwords it is not a fixall.

SOURCE: mercedes s430 wont start car wont shift out of park

is check engine light on or visit workshop displayed on cluster while engine is running. If so there is a electrical malfunction-although if the linkage is disconnected from the trans to the throttle the gear recognition switch would send an implausible signal and set a code. this code is not a priority code and may not set the light right away. A lot of times one of the linkage rod retaining clips falls off. Look under the car and you will see a rod that attaches to the shifter box arm and to the transmission neutral safety switch(manual valve) arm. It may actually be resting on the ground. If not look and make sure it is secure. Next there is a slot on the shifter wood where you can put a flat blade screw driver in and release the manual shifter lock. Your owners manual will describe how to do this. Depending on what failed the vehicle may be in what is called limo home mode where the trans does not shift out of second gear and the throttle is not very responsive. It will give you the opportunity to move the car to a safe location possibly even a repair shop. The shifter boxes are are a sealed unit with no replaceable parts. They are slightly expensive and require an s.d.s. machine to replace because they must be programmed and version coded. I hope I have been helpful

Wht mercedes wont start, tailghts stay on?

The brake light switch is tied to the ignition system.

Check your brake light switch. very common problem.
Follow the brake pedal up until you see it. small electrical part with connection to it.

Make sure to get a "real" Mercedes replacement part, as the aftermarket ones are even flakier than the dealer ones.
They are not that expensive and it's pretty easy to replace yourself.
Hope this helps!
