Description of the problem	My car would not start... Nothing when the i turn the key into the on position . The battery was checked and was good. This happed several times over months but twice the car started after sitting maybe 8 hours. This happened a third time a few months later. I was stranded and ended up having the car towed home. I tried starting it the next day .. Nothing. My authorized mercedes repair shop informed me that it was the electronic ignition module. I waited 2 weeks for the part. Cost was $1600. Just a note... I occasionally heard a faint noise like a motor running inside of my car whenever i turned the ignition off for a couple years but did not think it was any thing to be concerned but apparently this may have been a sign of a failing part.
