I have a 2002 four winns with a 5.0 gla. Ran it the other day stopped for a rest and now it won't turn over. Battery is good with clean connections. How do I diagnose if it is the starter, relay or solenoid? I can hear a faint buzz in the engine compartment when I turn the key. Thanks

Get a voltmeter and start checking fuses and cables for 12V.
When you turn the key to ON do the gauges turn on?
Check for 12V on the start relay (item 17) on the small yellow/red wire
Check that your 50 amp breaker has not tripped

Thanks!! I have 12V everywhere. I have isolated it down to a starter or solenoid problem.

When you crank the engine, what is the voltage drop? A battery can show 12 volts but not be able to carry a load, something to keep in mind.
