Some Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG owners report experiencing issues with their vehicles not cranking even after a new starter installation. Commonly cited reasons include a dead battery, which can prevent the car from starting, and problems with the alternator that may hinder proper cranking. Additionally, some owners have encountered faulty replacement starters or underlying issues within the starter system itself. Electrical problems, such as faulty wiring or connections, are also reported to contribute to starting difficulties. Furthermore, a malfunctioning key fob may prevent the vehicle from starting despite the new starter. It is crucial for owners to troubleshoot these potential causes and consider consulting a professional mechanic or a Mercedes-Benz dealership for effective diagnosis and resolution.
