Help! Won't start after replacing battery
The wifey didn't close the door properly
so after 3 days my 99 ml430's battery got drained. I tried jump starting it and it works. So I knew it was the battery and replaced it. After replacing it, it starts then dies. I've searched here but there are gazillions of reasons.
I'm planning on trading this sucker so I just wanted to keep my expenses to a minimum.
What would be the top 2 culprit why this is happening?
Thanks a million.

when was the last time you replaced the battery in the key? You may want to try that first. I know they cell the battery in many pharmacy's
