2008 ML500 W164 won’t start
Hi guys this is my first post and hoping someone may have some ideas on my issue
08 ml500 for last few weeks the car has taken a while to start and a bit slow in cranking as if it was a dying battery , today it just won’t start at all not even a tick tick as you’d expect from a flat battery .
Ignition turms on , all accessories seem to be wrking but it won’t crank over nothing at all
Tried to jump it with a jump pack and also with another vehicle and jumper leads but still nothing.
Any ideas i’m stumped

Thanks that’s what im thinking
I just went to see a European specialist mechanic and he tried telling me it’s going to be the auxiliary battery and located under the hood on a 08 ml500 I tried explaining as far as I know it’s only a backup for the auto trans and he couldn’t even tell me the correct positioning of that battery.
So is there a way to test the starter and should I attempt to replace it myself.

Could you please add the year of the ML to your profile.
The ML gas series is the most inexpensive, compared to any diesel, which repairs are in the thousands.
