2014 GLK no start after replacing starter
Can anyone assist me in determining if this vehicle has a programmed theft deterrent such as an immobolizer? I replaced a bad starter and now the vehicle has no sound when pressing the start button. Bench tested OK, power to the starter. No power to the solenoid lead when pressing the button. Battery is OK.
I am wondering if it goes into a lockout mode when the battery is disconnected? I would appreciate any help! Thank you.

The key to this is the solenoid lead is not getting voltage when the start button is pressed. That is why I am thinking there may be an inhibitor or immobilzer when the battery is disconnected and reconnected. The starter button passes ohm and conductivity tests, dashboard lights up normally.

Battery is good because I gave it a load and voltage test.

Believe it or not, some rebuilt starters don't work right out of the box. Do you hear a click from the starter? If yes starter is bad, if no fuse or relay is bad, assuming you are using the correct key. If you have keyless start, try removing the start button and use the key directly into the dash.
