problem #1

Sep 202019

Sprinter 2500 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,000 miles

I insert key into the ignition and turn the key to start, and nothing happens. Turn key several more times and the engine starts. This started at 35,000 miles about year ago, and persists still today on Oct 17 2020. Sometimes the starter will crank on first turn of the key several times in a row up to 15 times in a row (started counting) and then it can take 2 turns, maybe 5 turns of the key or as many as twelve turns of the key...

It always starts but I'm worried I may be somewhere far from home or help and then it may not start.
