I am very impressed that you took the time to make this video about what I see is an esoteric issue which we are experiencing with our own GLK350. Thank you for that.
Thank you for this video. Because of this information I convinced my husband to replace the auxiliary battery of my GLK350 and he did it with no problems. I do have questions though. When I test drove my GLK350 after replacing the auxiliary battery I did not notice my auto shutt off, when sitting at the traffic light, being back. When should I notice it? I usually turn it off but I would like for it to be back if ever I want this feature.
Hello Aquilina, the auto shut off will only be activated if certain conditions are met. The car's electronics determine if the shut off is feasible. This includes engine and transmission temperature, outside temperature and so on. There is an indicator in the cluster that turns green once the conditions are met. This is the ECO light.
What’s the proper way in disconnecting and connecting auxillary battery terminal? Do O disconnect negative and then positive? And for reconnecting ots the opposite correct?
Great video and good help. Thank you. One thing makes me wonder about the mind of German engineering. At time 5:46 you take out the cover. One side has set of nuts of one size and the other has bolts with hex head. Who is so stupid to design such a thing? I had to look around for the right tool and at the end used screwdriver to lose those bolts. How many people were wondering about this idiotic thing?
Good video. My auxiliary battery also lasted 7 years and held only 0.7 V, impressive that it worked until that low level. I replaced with a slightly larger capacity non-OEM battery because my experience with the OEM main battery is bad - the first one was replaced under warranty after less than 3 years and the new one lasted just 3 years! So I installed a non-OEM battery of slightly larger capacity that so far has lasted longer (approx same price as OEM). My car is 220 diesel 4matic and the Stop-Start is always on - how did you switch off the Stop-Start?🕊

This video made the changing the auxiliary battery simple. Thank you!
Thank you very much good info, but something that no one does or forget is to include the price of the material, but thank you again!!!
Huge help. Replaced the aux battery per your video and my 2014 GLK is back to normal. Many thanks!
what was it doing
Error message. Auto start/stop engine function does not work. Other small functions too.
I like your Polish electrical sign " nie dotykac uzadzenie elektryczne "😁
Thanks for listing the Star 40 tool needed - made for a quick trip to snag a $7 socket.
Your video was a huge help and saved me money
Thank you!
Will this cause issues with the A/C switch staying on. My A/C switch stays on for a while, blinks 3 times then shuts off.
Awesome brother! Really appreciate you man, that worked out great. Thank you!!!

Car manufactures attempt to "annoy" people into taking the vehicle to the dealership. It's not secret, this has been happening for decades.
I wounded if the auxiliary battery is in the same location on a 2014 GLK250?
No it isn't. For the diesel version it is on the driver side panel by the steering wheel. Very hidden.
@@TuanPham-cv6zc Thanks for posting this info.
Thanks for the video
What other msgs pop up for this auxiliary battery?? And what's the function of this battery in w211?
Thank you for your video, like it,

Drive in "S" not "E" and have a thicker wallet for petrol.
I have a question concerning my gear. It doesn’t auto select from D1 to D2, D2 etc…, it’s a GLK 350 4MATIC 013. What’s the possible cause?
If it isn’t in sport mode it almost never goes into D1, starts in D2. D1 only for quick acceleration. Not sure if that was the question.
How much is the battery?
AutoZone in the US sells them for $130.
I presume I can purchase the auxiliary battery from the dealer?
I got mine from O'Reilly's $115.00 $10.00 core. Much better than stealership ($250.00?).
Awesome thanks
The hardest part in my experience : to put the trim back. It just wouldn’t fit back in, no matter how much wiggling 😖
Very helpful and interesting--but please ditch the music !
Glad our video was helpful and intersting! As for the music: that is part of who we are and we will continue to be us.
