Unhappy Dead battery one week now remote start inoperable

So last week my truck battery died as it was below freezing temps over here and now I got it started my remote start did not work so I had to start it manually, and after shut down and locking my power fold in mirrors won’t w either can someone advise me if this is a common problem?will try to take into service department this Saturday for check up. I read up about it and found the fuse can be blown? Would that cause my remote start/fold in mirror functions hope someone can share some info on fixing problem... thanks a lot


p.s. Would like to share with members the product I used to jump start truck is gooloo
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XY35D93/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XY35D93/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Did you replace the battery? You do know that your battery is terminally damaged if it went completely dead, even more so in freezing temps.

Weak batteries in these trucks cause a multitude of issues you'd never normally relate to a battery. One of the most common is the fob, followed by the tranny not shifting out of park.

This is correct. It actually applies to all Benz models that have a separate accessories battery. If it's still the original battery, then it's likely due for a replacement any way. You can probably replace it yourself with an H8 AGM battery from Walmart or any auto parts store. Just be careful when removing the old battery that you don't let the terminals touch the body of the car as that can cause major problems with the SAM. The battery that needs replacing is the one in the very back on the right that is next to the 3rd row seat.

My remote start works I think I must’ve blown a fuse because my mirrors won’t fold in . At least I couldn’t tell because i just reached out and pressed the remote this evening , initially worried it wouldn’t start as I started it last on Saturday if am not mistaken. So yea like every 3 or 4 days because it’s covered up hibernating until spring :thumbsup:


as per the messages I’ve been getting too lazy to reply back so I’ll answer here


the GLs insert will be or attempted to retrofit in place of stock GL grille . As soon as the weather break and will have a better idea as to what is necessary to fit snug and correct. I will also have to buy the newest illuminated star again so it’ll be about 260 or less and that will be final piece upon fitting into place successfully.

2nd for those that’s interested in Renntech tune this truck puts out about 515 est the 2 k n filters about 5hp a a piece so they claim, will be going a different route soon. truck had to be reflashed as per dealers request. and lastly hopes to downpipes this year. Stay tuned...

All normal again I think they were frozen they fold in regularly now, I have to change my intake runner pipes because the stock cloth pipes unraveled. So I was advised don’t remember from who was to get s550 ones because there stronger or bigger?
