2012 Mercedes Glk 350
2012 glk cold start issues

Hello all I have a 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK 350. Lately I have been having a problem with getting it to wake up and cold starts. In the mornings when I go to unlock my doors I get a Flash from one signal light in the front driver side in the signal light in the back on passenger side the other two alarm lights won't blink which causes a reaction to when I put the key in the ignition the car will start but I get inoperative warning signs on my Dash no radio and no power but the car starts and will not go into gear fan runs on high also. This does not happen all the time but the majority of the time when it sets for over five or six hours please help.

Get battery checked and replaced, most likely it’s past its prime.

If the car came from Texas, you may be in for some electrical gremlins due to high water. Check the carfax. A lot of cars are moved up from flood states to dry states for resale where no one thinks about water in the electronics. But, this sounds like a corrosion problem in one of the computer connectors.
