My question concerning a jump pertains to a jump I know I will be doing on my ML 320 at the end of this week. I have had it sitting since 7/27, and
will returning to where it is parked and will need to start it. I am assuming the battery will be dead or extremely weak. Last time I had to jump this ML it caused a problem with the igition switch. Some how the key stopped being read when placed in ignition to start. < I remember them saying a red light should flash near the radio if the key is reading. > As I recall it would crank but not start. Anyway ended up at the dealer where they took about 5 days to figure out the problem. Where I have the truck now there are no MB dealers only BMW. ( As for as anyone who would have a clue on the ML or MBZ I would have great doubts... maybe BMW but ??? ) So to avoid the same problem occuring please advise. 1> should I even attempt to jump the vehicle, or am I setting myself up for what happened last time. < is that common is jump starting problem ? > 2> If a jump start is not a problem, is there a special way to do it. ? 3> Should I just take the battery out and have it charged before even trying to start it to avoid any possible issues. << Seems obvious this might be the way to go. ... >> I do have radio code for the vehicle. A note, I have a CLK that needed a jump a few months back. MBZ service came and the tech used the brief case type jumper and I have had no issue like the ML issue i had. Others thoughts or experience with this is greatly appreciated. |
