GLK350 will not start after a flat tyre!

Dear all,

My Glk350 2010 model will not start after a flat tyre. So what happened was, i had a flat tyre, and replaced it with the spare. then i found out that i need a new tyre, so i ordered one, after 2 days of parking the car, it refused to start, so i put the old tyre back on, it started, but i did not move it, however, when i went back to it the day after it started, it just did not start anymore, i tried jump starting it, tried removing the battery terminal, swapped the spare tyre with the main tyre, non of that seem to work. I will appreciate any advise from you guys, before going to the garage!

Thanks for your help!

Had a flat on mine but drove to the tire store and had to buy a new 20" Pirrelli as it had a bolt through the side wall 350 Canadian $ #@*# but no problem starting.The batteries on GLK seem to die fairly soon so worth a check.

so i figured it out! i ought to have driven the car to reset the tyre sensor after swopping the spare for the real tyre. what i did was to take out the battery terminal for a couple of hours, put it back on, lock and unlock the car with the remote, and it started. after which, i drove it for a few minutes and the tyre sensor reset itself.
