stumped..something new for this one!
Ok, this one is new to me. 300sdl, 87 w/ 377k and climbing runs great!..but this time would not crank. 40's all day here. Hesitated to crank at noon, but started. Went out at around 3 and would not crank. Car had all warning lights, glow plugs worked..so assumed 3.5yr old battery. Took battery to two parts places and both said probably - shows 12.6 volts. Bought battery and installed; turned key-same thing. Will not crank; no click like solenoid, but all other electrics work. Tried gear in neutral/ back to park (safety switch ???) but no difference. Car is sitting in drive awaiting friendly tow truck. Anyone have any guesses? Possibly starter?..I did notice an-almost-alternator-bearing-whine last few times car was running, right after start. Open to suggestions/ guesses?
love my car and this one is a new one on me. THX

The whine could be the starter gear engaged, and starter is toast.

Jump the terminals in the box on the passengers side in the engine compartment and see if the starter turns.
