I recently had a similar thing happen to me in which the the battery had to be replaced in order to get the starter to actually engage the solenoid. I had charged the battery externally and did have the same problem. Once cleaning the terminals as well as the battery it started up. I hope this may help if it doesn't email ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW SPRINTER HELP who is on YOUTUBE. He does email you back or at least he did me. He probably knows the answer to your question.
