Good info thanks. I just completed the job using your vid. For us cheap folks that don’t own a battery pack you can simply use jumper cables to another car. Same science. Thanks again!!!
FYI for all the nerds out there, the GLK has an auxiliary battery to actually keep your settings saved so you don’t really need the power bank. NOW, if that auxiliary battery is dead then do this
@@512TXSDIY this video is so awesome!! I used it to figure out how to remove my battery. Taking care of your own stuff is such a satisfying feeling! The dealer tried to charge me $550 for a new battery and install 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro I crossthreaded the bolt and nut on the positive side Back to the dealer I go for an overpriced battery nut and bolt *EDIT* I ended up going to the nut and bolt warehouse in my city and dude charged me a $1 for the proper nut 😂
Thank you so much for this video! You made it so easy to follow and I don’t need to bother find a mechanic to install for me. I have one question, if a battery maintainer can be a substitute for the power bank you use in the video? I am not sure it counts as a low power supply. Thank you!
@@512TXSDIY thanks for your reply, it didn’t work for probably because of I when connect the new battery, I got it wrong connecting the negative first and see a little spark on the positive then I realized that. And connect the positive first instead. I guess it would work if I did the right sequence. I subscribed immediately after this video. And for sure your GLK is really good, I am going to do more follow your vide on that!
@@512TXSDIY btw, I rarely use the radio, it is not a problem for me at all. I will also go to the dealership for a airbag recall and they should help me fix that.
Hi, Hope you check the new comments. I followed your inst. used a power pack and swapped in a new Costco recommended battery. It worked & radio is fine, however. Am getting an "auxiliary battery malfunction" now. IMPORTANT. I replaced the aux battery in 2021 (in the trunk of glk350) so I think it should be still good. Is there a "reset" that needs to happen to clear that code? I do not have a fancy code reader/reset. I do have obd2 code READER but no reset. The stop/start (at red lights) is FINE. Every function works in the car but the error message. Any help to clear that message or do I need to stick in another aux battery? I don't think it's a coincidence that replacing the engine battery kills the aux battery. Do I buy a tool that resets the code? Thanks. Subbed.
I haven’t had that issue yet so hard to diag for you. Are you able to clear the notification on the instrument cluster? What about resetting a “service work” notification with the scanner?
Could you post a link on what the battery pack that you used/attached to the power source before removing the old battery? If you could post the name/brand or a link on where to buy one of those, that would be most appreciated.

I think I am going to have to do this on my 2012 GLK 350. Past week I have had to have it jumped twice. Checking it after letting it sit over night its only got about 12.1 volts. Is that too low you think?
Hey I just found your channel and own a GLK350 myself. After watching a few of your videos, I decided to pop open the hood of my car and see what’s what. My car’s got a few issues im looking to fix over time (and most of your videos cover my issues, lol) but there’s one here that I’d like to ask you. You see the battery cover you removed? Behind that there’s a white cylindrical chamber there. Is it spinning in your video? For me, I noticed mine is spinning even though my car is completely off, with the key out of the ignition. Is that normal? What is that component?
Thanks for checking it out. Please like the video and consider subscribing to the channel. What part in the video are you referring to? Let me know the minutes
@@512TXSDIY right at 1:42, when you take out the cover on the top left there’s a little chamber that’s exposed with a checkered white cylindrical housing
@@PJXD50 That is your HVAC blower motor. It pushes the cold or warm air in the cabin when you turn on AC/Heat. It’s normal to spin when car is off. Likely just slowing down from when car was on.
@@512TXSDIY 5:40 at first then again later. I’d also recommend removing the terminal clamps first before the mounting bolts to not come in contact between the positive and bolts. Replaced mine today. Thanks for the video. A couple things different on my 2014, but much the same.
@@512TXSDIY asking because I took my 2010 GLK 350 to Mercedes dealership to have the battery replaced. Radio worked fine but Satellite radio went out and I was told by dealership that I would have to pay 1,400 for a new module.
@@512TXSDIY One question - since GLK 350 have an Auxiliary Battery located by the rear passenger side. Why need to connect to another battery? I tried to disconnect the battery the radio still on.
The aux battery helps with certain onboard accessories but the main battery is what drives the car. I was just trying to not risk having to make a trip to the dealer for potential radio reset. Happy everything worked out for you.

Hi, could you tell me if the 2012 GLK 350 model has an auxiliary battery and where it is located in the car? Thanks.
I am. not 100% sure. Can some answer?
Hi, can you pls share the details on the battery and the size tool you used to unscrew the bolts?
Check the description friend. I have everything listed.

A new battery does wonders for your car. It’s like your iPhone battery running on a degraded battery. It runs, but not at its optimal self.

You can just do it with the car running although if it dies it’s most likely do to a poor alternator

Can I use the battery tender trickle charger or is that not enough power?
Yes, I think that should be enough power. It is mainly so your settings aren' reset. Are you going to attempt it?
@@512TXSDIY I was just wondering. I also have a battery pack
I bet it would...try it?
Thanks a lot! I got the same model and should save a lot of money!
Thanks for watching. They are great cars.
I’m sure you misspoke that that was a ground wire. It’s attached to the positive terminal.
Possibly. I’ll have to rewatch this video. Do you know where in the video?
