Hi i have a 1999 mercedes s320 we were driving up a hill and it just stop.Now it wont start . There is iginition lights but wont turn over. Thanks

It sounds like the transmission is defective. You need it checked by a local shop and then rebuilt if needed.

Does the engine spin or just click when you try to start it? If it just clicks or there is nothing try checking your battery cables, they may have become loose or they are corroded.

Also because you said you were driving uphill and it started to lose power then died, it could very well be that your fuel pump decided to stop working.

What happens when you turn the key? Do the door locks work? Do the headlights work? Once I get that info I can help point you in the right direction

Is the fan blowing, do any of the knobs work ? Can you be more specific ?

check that the ground wire is connected to the bulb and the ground point

Isn't there botton somewere on the door or left lower conner of dashboard to open trank remotely?

Emergency key is housed in ignition key,slide small catch on end of key and pull out
If this is the one you have lost,you can order one from mercedes,just order blade not complete key

hello,hoping your 98 mb s320 is 140 model,try to check fuse in base module located at left side standing in front,remove 4 pcs.allen screw ,visual check your fuse,renew if needed,be sure you have freon gas in your system,if not corrected,send your car for proper diagnosing,ty

just insert the key to the ignition swich and leave it for one minute, it will work for sure.

Hi,
If the light came on before you changed pads, you will need to replace the sensor.
The sensor consists of only a wire link embedded in a hard plastic. This is worn through when the pads are nearly worn out.

To check which sensor it is, it's easier to unplug the sensor, and check with a continuity checker. If there is no continuity, you need to replace it.

Thanks for using Fixya! If this solves the problem, please rate as such. Thank you.
