Mercedes Citan won't start: Looking for experience and advice on repairing the ignition starter switch

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2014 Mercedes Vito. It turned out that the wiring harness was defective. The symptoms sound very similar, the car just wouldn't start, just like yours. During the repair, the entire wiring harness was replaced. It was a serious matter, but I haven't had any more problems since. So I would recommend having it checked by a professional. Maybe your Mercedes just needs a new wiring harness. Good luck, buddy!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Your experience has really helped me. Do you remember how much the repair cost you? And has any other problem entered college since replacing the wiring harness? If so, I'd be really interested in any further developments. Thanks in advance, buddy!

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for! I paid €95 for the wiring harness problem. Since the repair, however, I haven't had any more problems with the ignition starter switch, so the fault was actually rectified. Your Mercedes should run like clockwork again after the repair. Good luck with that, buddy!

I will definitely see a professional and have them check the wiring harness. Thanks again for the info and your helpful advice, buddy!
