my 1998 ml 320 suv killed while driving it.. prior to killing. the battery light cm on and the car lights and the dash lights went dim... we took the battery to the parts store and they suggested tht we needed another one. we installed it and suv started right up. in 2 days the same thing happened. we exchanged the battery again and now the battery light came on again. what could be wrong??
