I have an '86 110 (300tdi) that I'm having trouble getting to start. Used to start up fine first try. Let it sit a couple of weeks and was really slow to turn over first time - then only start half the time (after slow start), now just won't turn over at all.
Some notes:
1. It started after I noticed a rear blinker/brake issue only when braking. Also only an issue some of the time. Do I have a short?
2. Would only start in neutral or after shifting gears. Neutral safety switch issue?
3. I put the battery on a charger and it seems fine and still having the same issue. Starter?
I have searched threads, but each situation is a little different and I am not technical enough to know where to start. Any advice on what you would try first would be very appreciated.
