GLK250 Voltage Converter Module

My 2014 GLK250 does not have the Eco Start/Stop, and no auxiliary battery.
However, I get a "Auxiliary Battery Malfunction" alert on the dash. Does anyone else
have this? Anyone know how to replace it?

Also, does anyone know of a good Benz mechanic in the northwest Chicago?

Thank you VSSMAN for the video. However, my car does not have an auxiliary battery because it does not have Stop/Start option.
It seems like it has what's called a "Voltage Converter Module" which needs to be replaced.
What I need to know is where is this module and how to replace it.

Your car has an aux battery for the electronic gear selector. It's under the instrument panel, accessible through the hole where the fuse panel is. It's much smaller than the one for the eco start stop function.
