#8115 of 8166 ML320 by deborahn Feb 26, 2008 (3:34 pm)
We have a 2000 Mercedes SUV. While the car is running, it will die for no apparent reason. Then it will crank over, but will not start. There is no fuel pressure and no voltage at the fuel pump relay. After about 1/2 hr or more it will start. Replies to this message: fmfc1 (Feb 27, 2008 8:01 am) deborahn (Jun 19, 2008 8:15 am)

Replying to: deborahn (Feb 26, 2008 3:34 pm) There are 2 likely causes. The first is the module box blower were the ME control and fuse box are located. This can be checked by removing the motor and switching on the key, it should run. It could be a crankshaft position sensor that is going open when it gets hot. A scan tool hooked to the truck would not show any rpm while cranking when the sensor is open. When the blower stops working it causes the ME to overheat and cause it to shut down.

#8117 of 8166 Used 2002 ML320 with 132K miles by kandygirl Mar 01, 2008 (5:10 am)
I was looking at a "new to me" ML320, but the mileage is what scares me. It has 132K miles on it and I know repairs will dent my pocket if things start to go wrong. They are willing to sell it to me with a 1 yr/12K mile bumper to bumper warranty. I have heard mixed reviews on the truck and I just don't want it to die on me.   I have heard that a mercedes isn't "broken in" until after 50K and that I will die before it does and that mileage doesn't apply to mercedes and BMW. Heard this from the dealer and other owners.   Question is: Will I be investing in a MAJOR problem based on the mileage?

Replying to: kandygirl (Mar 01, 2008 5:10 am) I have '98 with 208K miles on it. I couldn't be happier with the vehicle. Other then standard maintenance, we haven't had any issues with the truck. I realize that not everyone has such a positive view, but I think it's a great vehicle. Replies to this message: lugo (Mar 21, 2008 9:24 pm) ericlau01 (Nov 08, 2009 7:05 am)

Replying to: jabiru1 (Jan 26, 2008 4:37 pm) Most likely the brake switch (long known for problems) or transmission interlock switch. It is the electrics which are keeping the starter quiet.

Replying to: erwin5w (Feb 02, 2008 10:04 am) I think you mean driveshaft and yes there cables to be messed with by a transport driver. They throw chains over the axle and can screw up all sorts of things. My guess is the emergency brake cable. If it doesn't work you have found it. A nice long road trip may prove to be a cheaper alternative.

Replying to: lynnejacob2001 (Mar 03, 2008 10:35 am) I am also considering to purchase a '98 ML 320 with 125,000 miles. I realllly like the car but the miles scare me as well.
#8122 of 8166 Mercedes ml320 2002. My SUV will not start. by artiste Apr 16, 2008 (6:03 am)
The ignition will start and turn over but the car dies right away. I am very low on gas. I thought this was the problem and put an additional 2 gallons in but the problem persists. The fuel pump was replaced in 2006. I am wondering if the fuel filter is clogged or I have a fuel pump problem. It is in the garage and wondering if I need to have it towed or is there something we can check out. Your assistance is appreciated.

#8123 of 8166 ML55 Fusebox by hollobon Apr 28, 2008 (2:43 pm)
Does anyone know the location in the fusebox of the fuse for the rear power outlet, the one by the rear tailgate?   A. Hollobon

Replying to: artiste (Apr 16, 2008 6:03 am) If you let fuel level get too close to empty, you will burn up the fuel pump.... it will turn to toast in an instant because it relies on the fuel for lubrication....   you have every symptom of a shot pump. never let your fuel get below the 1/8 level
