GLK350 won’t start (battery recently replaced)
Anyone ever experience this before? The car will eventually start but could take 15-30 min of trying. It does this weird thing where it acts like the car is asleep and then wakes up again. Watch the video where i actually get it to start but it dies right after it does. I changed the battery last week and drive the car after it turns on sometimes so I know the alternator is working.
Benz couldn’t figure it out either since it isn’t throwing any codes. Thoughts?

What is battery voltage , a new battery doesn’t mean it has proper voltage , it does sound low when starter engages ,maybe a bad starter?
bad key fob? Try different One . Maybe corrosion on a terminal or bad ground somewhere. Have a local mechanic go over it , hopefully it’s a simple cheap fix. It could be many simple things. Is it an AGM battery? Charge it up and see how long it takes to charge, but use a charger with the AGM cycle. New batteries often come very low on voltage if they have been in storage . Sears once sold me a battery that took a day to charge , I was so mad I got the battery for free!
