car starting problem
hello all, i have a 00 ml320 yesterday went to start vehicle and car was completely dead. so i got a jump and let it run for a while then drove home tried to restart after sitting for a while then dead again. so i been having to jump the car to start it. took it to auto zone they tested the battery and alternator and said it came up as being good even tho the worker who did it was dumb as rocks she almost hooked up the cables wrong if i dint tell her but i assume the machine was working good enough for the info.not sure what to do from here maybe a fuse or short circuit or something any ideas guys??

Find another shop to test the battery for a 2nd opinion.
You may have a parastic draw.
Not enough info to provide any other comment.

It could be the ignition control module. I thought it was the key fob, but it was that. As for Auto Zone. They don't knowS****. Bunch of lazy youngsters. I have an ml55, so should be same thing. $20 fix. Stealership $500
