My battery died the other day when I was trying to start my ML, after I got it jumped, the radio will not power on anymore. When I turn on my headlights at night, the power button lights up with a ambient light. I tried checking the fuses on the passenger side and I found one that was shorted out and replaced it but it still didn't fix the problem. Any ideas greatly appreciated, thanks.

you might have to get the code from the dealer to unlock it. there is a system to prevent someone stealing it. a simple ownership verification will probably get you this code from your local merc dealer.

It doesn't power on for me to even enter the unlock code. I have the code though cause I got locked out of it a few months back. I'm just wondering why it won't even power on anymore.

fuse???

Auditory

I checked the fuses on the passenger side, and changed the bad ones. Where else could the fuse for the radio be?

there is another fuse under the hood, if you look at the cover it will have something that suggest MCS unit, or audio system.....I forget which one, but i think its 40 Something Fuse, I'll have to double check tomorrow morning for you as the car is in the garage and really dark, but pull that out and put it back in, somehow resets it and it should work even though the fuse is not burnt......
Try it out, best of luck.....

Fuse #21 under the hood, see photo in this link http://www.whnet.com/4x4/shoptalk.html

thanks.it worked. i tried the one under the hood, the fuse was still intact, but i pulled it out and put it back in.

I have the same problem now. My battery died and now the stereo won't power on. Can you please tell me where to locate the fuse on my 2001 ML320? Exactly where under the hood? Thanks.

Check your relays...

Can you clarify your link? It's not working anymore and I'm having the same problem with mine.

Note: sorry for bringing this thread up from the dead.

The website no longer exists. Lift the cover on your fuse box (drivers side under the hood). There is a diagram under the cover that will indicate where fuse #21 is located. You have to pull a couple clamps forward to release the lid of the fuse box. Good luck.

I have a 02 ml320 which I pulled the radio the other day. This is the bose system with nav and there is a 15 amp fuse in the back of the unit near the wiring harness. check that.

I have a 99' Does anyone know where the fuses are on the passenger side I can't find anything. My stereo has no lights, no nothing, battery was replaced a while ago, HELP! The silence is killin me............

Your fuse box is in the hood. Check fuse No13

Unkl Chuck

I have checked ALL fuses. Still nothing. MB wants 135 bucks just to look at it. Any other suggestions. I am gonna pull the unit, i think and test it

Fuses 10 and 21 control the radio in a 99 ML. If they are good then you will have to remove the unit and check the fuse at the back of the radio.

Hi, I have 2001 ML 320 and when I press the power button on the Radio , the screen see WAIT and noting happen. What can I do?

Maj. Dundee

That means that you have to enter the proper radio code. If you do not have it you must call a M/B dealer and after giving them your full VIN #, they will give you the radio code.
