Anyone own a 2014 Mercedes ml350?

uisim · 08-15-2016, 12:30 AM

As the title states anyone familiar with this car. A friend of mine restored one after it's been in a small accident. 15k$ later all we have left is an annoying auxiliary battery light flashing on the dash. As far as I know these little batteries are usually next to the main battery which is under the front passenger seat on this car. However I can not find any trace of it. No cables. nothing. I even called the dealer and after being transferred to three different people , finally the guy said it should be next to the main battery. I don't know if he's mistaken tho. I found a few videos on line but they were from the last gen ml350. I know this ain't a Mercedes forum but if I can get an answer here that would be great. And from looking at Mercedes forums many people there had no idea. Parts off this car were stolen when it was sitting in the savage yard so maybe they tucked the cables somewhere where I couldn't see them but I basically had the whole seat removed fixing the air bags and couldn't see a thing.

not yet haven't worked on it most of the week. My problem is I can't even find the secondary battery or its cables. Lol this should be sooooo simple. We literally put in an engine withought issue. Got everything coded, all works great except for the auxiliary battery light and a missing cable, wherever it might be...

Thanks let me know I think we Gota bite the bullet and have a good shop look at it after one last attempt. So you saw a cable next to the main battery?
