I'm hoping to get some help diagnosing my MB motor not starting issue.
My ML320 ran perfectly until last week when i got in and it would not turn over.

About 8 years ago the alarm would go off for no reason after locking doors. Dealership couldn't fix it so they just removed the fuse. Has been fine since.

Now, the message on the display panel said "Start Error"
Instrument panel lights up like a Xmas tree when trying to start the motor.

So far this is what I have done.
We checked the battery and it is good.
We checked the Keys and they both work fine. They open doors.

Had an import dealer look at it and they seem to think it was the anti theft not allowing the motor to start. They couldn't help. Towed it home.

Talked to a Benz Mechanic in Calgary and he felt the keys had lost their programming. Have received two new keys from Benz and no difference. They will open doors but same engine error.

I had told them that the drivers door actuator was acting up and they said that would not cause the issue. The plunger in the door panel at the window doesn't seem to go down all the way like it used to.

So given that i am stuck. The SUV is in great condition with low miles (90,000) and i would really like to keep it.

Has anyone out there had a similar issue, and if so what was the remedy?
Please let me know.


Thank You in advance
