2008 ML350 Electrical? Might buy
My boss has a nice ML350 I can get off him dirt cheap but it seems to have some electrical problems that are a concern to me:
Driver/Passenger side windows very slow
Passenger door "unlock" -- only works manually
Rear Drivers will open with the fob, or useing the lock button
Head lights seem kind of dim
Passenger side rear door lock "jumps" up and down (sure that's an actuator)
He says the radio will sometimes shut off, and you just turn it back on (I have not noticed it yet, he is letting me drive it for a week)
175k miles -- Like I said I can get it dirt cheap, but I also don't want to get into an electrical problem I am chasing or throwing a ton of money at on a car that is not worth much. ANY help is greatly appreciated!
