Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / August 2007560SEC quit on the road.
Quit like you turned off the key. Had to be towed to a shop. After sitting over night, it sterted and ran OK. I suspect the ignition module, since I had similar experiences over the years with a Ford and a Volvo. The module lists for about $1800, but I can buy a used one for $125. I plan to buy it and keep it in the car. Does this sound like a good plan? No... most common would be fuel pump relay. Ditto to Tiger's suggestion, and a lot cheaper!  Signature© 2007 T.G.Lambach.
