Hey everyone!

Hey everyone!

Newly registered, but I have used the forums for a lot of help troubleshooting. New to MB ownership and maintenance after purchasing a ‘03 ML350 that was abandoned at an impound lot and left for dead with no key. I got it for a song, for my 15 year old daughter as a first car. Got the key issue sorted (blade key only) and then had to get to work. I’m beginning to understand why it was abandoned lol. Lots of brakes, wiring, and A/C issues. I’ll be starting a post for my newest issue soon.

Im a noob to MB, but I’ve worked on a little bit of everything from weed eaters to heavy aircraft, and everything in between. I’m determined to get this car to 100% with as little help from the stealership as possible.

again, glad to be here, and thank you all in advance for your help and expertise!
