![]() The diesel models have a rating of 100 Ah. Remember that Mercedes Benz uses some big juicy batteries. ![]() You can try to crank the engine again, but if it fails, then you are sure that you need a new battery. Rust and corrosion prevent a good connection. While you are there, unscrew the battery wires and clean them in and out with a wired brush. If the voltage drops below 11V, you, my friend need a new battery. Now, have a friend watch over the multimeter while you go and start the engine. A healthy battery should show a reading of 12.2 to 12.8. Touch the positive to the battery’s positive and negative to body ground or battery’s negative terminal. ![]() Take a multimeter and set it to DC (not AC). You might get the radio, interior lights and other accessories to work, but there will not be a running engine. This might prevent the car from starting. If the voltage supply is inconsistent or low, the computer may get a false signal. Since the car has a bunch of loads of sensors, it needs its battery to be in top shape. I’ll start with the most obvious weak links. I have curated some helpful data from the internet and I wish this helps you repair your car and save money. And since the car heavily depends on its electronics, it might not be easy to fix as a Toyota. I have been on various forums and found that all the Mercedes Benz cars experience this sort of problem. Or while you turned the ignition, there was no sound at all. For different reasons, it may have had cracked but the engine did not turn over. So, just the day you turned the ignition key and the car just did not start. So what's up with the safety glasses? There is a small possibility of a battery exploding during the charging process if you don't connect the cables properly (causing a spark) and there is a bunch of hydrogen gas around the battery (car batteries emit hydrogen gas when they discharge) - this is much more of an issue with cars that haven't been driven for a long time than if you drive your A160 regularly and simply forgot to turn your lights off.Last updated on November 27th, 2022 at 04:09 am Once you are finished reviving a dead car battery in your A160, make sure you drive it for at least 5 minutes before turning it off so your battery isn't dead the next time. Be sure to disconnect the negative cable (black cable) from the ground on the dead car, then disconnect the negative cable from the ground on the donor battery, then disconnect the positive (red cable) from the donor battery and finally disconnect the positive cable from the dead car. ![]() When you finish jumpstarting the dead battery car, which battery terminal to disconnect first is important. Cheap jumper cables have very thin wire such as 8 or 10 gauge), which increases how long it will take to charge the battery with jumper cables in your A160. It is important to use the best jumper cables you can buy as they have thicker gauge (0, 2 or 4 gauge) wire and will impact how long to charge car battery with jumper cables (your A160 will charge faster with thicker cables). Assuming that you have a pair of jumper cables, a pair of safety glasses and a friend to give you a jumpstart, the video above will show you where to connect the cables (and in what order!) for your A160. Check to see if you left your headlights or an interior light on and turn the switch off. If you get into your A160, turn the key, and your car doesn't start (you may hear nothing or a clicking sound from the engine bay), you have a dead battery and need a jump-start. This video shows you how to use jumper cables to jump start a dead battery in your 1999 Mercedes-Benz A160. ![]()
