Ml430 starter?

I have a 2001 Mercedes ML430 with 41252 miles I replaced the battery in Dec. 2005 and now it wont start. Is it safe to jump my car? Will it do any damage to the battery, and if it's the starter will jumping it start it.

Yes you can jumpstart your car. Follow the procedures outlined in the owners manual carefully. If the problem is the alternator or the battery it should start. If the starter is bad it won't start.

Let us know how it goes. :)
