Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Battery Service

Sprinter Won't Start?

If you have had problems starting your Sprinter Van, it could be because you left lights on or your door ajar. There are many reasons why this could be a problem and it could be your battery or something else, but the only way you'll know for sure is to have your vehicle tested by a professional at a quality Service Center like the one we have at Premier Autos of Dallas. We have specialized services for your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van. Our Mercedes-Benz-Certified technicians know all about your Sprinter Van and how to keep it running well.

If you are experiencing startup problems, there are a couple of potential issues that could cause the problem. It could be that you had a battery draining feature like what happens when lights are left on. This of course is the best scenario because if your battery is healthy and it has just been drained, then a simple jump start should get you on your way, but if that doesn't solve the problem it could be one of the issues that follow:

• Old battery: If this is your problem, it means that the battery can no longer hold a charge. You can have one of our technicians test your battery to make sure this is the cause of your start up problem. If it is, a new battery will take care of the issue, and our technicians can help you find the right battery to get you back on the road in your Sprinter.
• Starting system needs service: If this is the issue, it stems from some mechanical problem with your Sprinter Van that is keeping it from starting, or the problem is draining your battery. It could be something keeping your battery from charging, but a diagnostic test of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van will help our technicians identify the problem and take care of it.

If you tried a jump start and it didn't solve your problem, have your battery tested with a voltmeter. If your battery proves to be healthy, a diagnostic test is needed to isolate the problem so it can be remedied.

If it is Not the Battery, What is It?

If the battery is healthy, then the problem may lie with the starter, starter relay, alternator, ignition switch, spark plugs, fuses, or wiring. This issue can be discovered with a proper diagnostic test. If it is not the battery or one of the other things mentioned here, it may be something as simple as your cables, terminals, or connectors being corroded. If it is this simple of a problem, then good cleaning will fix the problem, and you can try again.
