Dude. starter or starting motor doesn't work. I am talking about this part. Check the link. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mercedes+starter+motor+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=Mercedesstarter+motor&_rdc=1

Before you buy a starter motor on eBay (bad move) test the purple wire going to the starter. That's the starter signal wire that becomes energized when you're cranking the engine If there's no power there then the problem is (most likely) the ignition switch or the starter relay.
