05 Will not Crank
Ok first time posting because this is my first real issue. We took the car for a 45 minute drive last Sunday all worked fine all the way no issues. Got back in after 5 hours of the car sitting and it was dead. It took maybe 10 minutes on a jump to start it. Ran it for over an hour home had dinner and went to try it again and it was dead. Jumped it again and ran it for an hour and we have not been able to get it to start again since. NO CRANK even with a jump attached. AAA checked the battery and it has over 12.5 volts plus the jump. We get no lights inside the car when the doors open and I do not even hear the pumps running the dash fades in and out even with the jump attached. It seems like something is bleeding the power. I need some help please.

Check the positive & ground cable for corrosion, or maybe they are loose( all the way to the starter & alternator)...Be very careful with jumping your ML. I hope you know the correct procedure. We wont want you to cook your ECM.........
Your battery is ok, which means you are not bleeding any power.....The problem is you are not getting power from the battery to the car which to me indicates wiring issues
