99 CLK 320. Switch on and ASR/BAS light is lit and car won't start.
If you cycle the ignition and try to start it quickly it will start and
then die straight away, if you wait until the dash lights are
illuminted then it won't fire at all.
This has happened on two previous occasions and both times switching
off then on resolved the issue but this time it's not budging!
Can anyone suggest any possible causes and solutions?
Thanks
Darren
Change the battery. It resolved my folks 01 E320.
Over voltage protection relay itself or the fuse on top of the relay?

Could I ask where that would be located?

Check around the right side shock tower in the engine bay. It used to
be behind the battery in the W201/W124 era. Since the battery goes to
the trunk in W202, I guess yours will be similar. The OVP has one or
two fuses (usually blade type, red, 10amps) on its top. No other relay
is like that.

Gave up on it for the day, re-tried the next morning and it started
first time. Now two weeks later it's done it again. Bl**dy annoying!

There is a hint in the manual that electronic errors in the wheel
control system are reset by turning the steering wheel completely once
from left to right stopper an back.
