OK, my good old 300TD was having difficulty shutting down and I determined
that the vacuum system had a leak. In the process of trouble shooting this I
had to restart the car multiple times. One time the starter just failed to
turn - nothing at all, just a little click, like a relay closing, coming
from the area of the glove box. Multiple tries and nothing doing. The
battery and all connections checked good, and I could see that when turning
the key to the start position that there was no load being put on the
battery. After checking everything I could think of I gave up for a few
hours and then this time the car started right up! I decided that there must
be a thermal cut out on the starter, or something like that, and that life
was good. When I went to start the car this morning, nothing doing, just
that little click by the glove box, but no turning or sound from the starter
at all...

HELP!
