Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz A220 owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues after the vehicle has cooled down, which may be attributed to several factors. A common cause is a dead 12V battery, which can hinder normal starting operations. Additionally, corrosion on the battery terminals can contribute to these starting problems. Some owners have identified a faulty starter motor as a potential reason for the intermittent issues. In certain cases, a lack of 12V signal power reaching the starter motor has also been reported, leading to starting difficulties. Furthermore, starter-related issues, such as a failed solenoid, starter relay, or problems with the ECU not sending a signal to the starter relay, may exacerbate the situation. It is recommended for owners experiencing these issues to have the necessary components checked and tested by a professional to ensure smooth starting operations.
