Try use an other key to start the vehicle,your ML DAS system may not authorize you to start the motor.......becareful never jump start you ML with the key in ingition it will damage the key!!!

You may want to check your battery if it is still the OEM before going great length trying to find the problem. With the deep freeze we had this winter, it may have killed your battery. I just replaced mine two months ago. It will jump start but it won't stay charged.

My advice is never jump start your ML,if the battery is dead replace it with new battery,if you have to jump start your ML remove key from ignition hook up jumping cable wait about 5-10 minutes before you start it.

jump start
It was the key. Had to bring another from home, but it worked. Valet key also works but first key seems kaput.
Also battery drank a ton of water which apparently hasn't been checked since new. |
