W202 wiper and horn both start occasionally
Hi,
These problems are difficult to find, but not impossible. The wiring harness will have to checked at the following points. Check the fuse unit. (Clean all connections on the fuses and contact points.) Trace the connections from the horn to the firewall. If that is fine, check the connections from the wiper to the firewall. Inspect the wire harness loom that goes through the firewall towards the steering wheel. Inspect the "kickdown" switch underneath the accelerator. Test the switch for continuity. If the problem is still unresolved, check the relay panel and all relays for corrosion on any connectors. Be sure to inspect all earthing points on the body.(brown wire). This will take you a couple of hours to work through. Always tidy the wires after inspection and use proper solvents when cleaning contact points. I had a similar issue with my W124, when turning on the lights, the wiper started to work. I found the problem caused by a short on the headlight unit when I was working on the car. Good luck, I hope you find the problem soon.

1997 Mercedes c230 turns over fire once and die out
Have you tried first priming and purging the fuel lines of air bubbles prior to replacing the fuel pump filters? If you did and the engine still won't turn, otherwise you'll also have ignition problems. If the Toyota cars have 4 reasons the engine won't run, the Mercedes Benz has 101 reasons why the engine won't run, so to speak. So you start checking on the fuel pressure, fuel injection voltage or signals, spark ignition and all the way to the throttle sensors, crank pos senseor, ecu, or even the car alarm/immobilizer.... But first keep trying on purging all the air bubbles (with the Schrader purge valve on the rack) and make sure you have adequate voltage on your battery for high speed cranking, sometimes these will take a while at first.

My Mercedes c200 does not crank or start
Your Battery has gone bad, replace the battery and your problem will go away.
Remember that VOLTAGE and AMPERAGE are 2 different things...
