You'd probably agree: the Mercedes-Benz vehicle you love driving should start and run like the day you drove it home from the dealership. Your OEM ignition helps make sure it does.

How ignitions work is straightforward. Turn the key in the ignition lock cylinder. The ignition switch, most often located in the steering column, just behind the cylinder, triggers, and your car or SUV gets going. What happens under the hood, though, is the starter motor, starter solenoid, ignition coil, and battery work together to send electricity to the engine cylinder head. That's where the spark plugs are. The plugs' leads capture the charge and use it to ignite the engine's gas and air mixture. It combusts and releases power -- the power the engine runs on. The vehicle then starts. With a little help from the alternator, it keeps running as well as it can.

If your Mercedes-Benz model has issues starting, though, it can mean that the ignition is going bad, if it hasn't already failed. To figure out what could be happening, plug in a code reader and run a careful inspection. Also, look for the signs the ignition may be going out. They include stalling, flickering lights and displays on the dashboard, and being unable to turn the key or start at all.
