Starter not cranking, computer reset fixes the problem
Last night my 05 Coupe left me stranded. When I tried to start it, the engine started running but then sputtered and died. When I tried to restart it, the starter wouldn't work. No click, nothing. All other electricals seemed fine. Jumping did not work, not even a click. I had it towed to my mechanic (Mercedes specialist) and he said that after pulling the battery to reset the engine control computer, it now starts. The only problem is, he does not have the equipment to read the Chrysler diagnostic codes.
Anyone else seen this? Am I likely to see this again? I'm considering taking it to the local Chrysler dealer to have them read the diagnostic codes, but wondering if there is any point.
