Starting problem with Mercedes GLK after changing a light
(Translated from Swedish)
Summary of the thread
After replacing a low-beam headlight bulb on a 2009 Mercedes GLK, the car won't start, and the instrument panel shows no lights, although locking, unlocking, and interior lights function. Possible causes include loose or corroded battery connections or a weak battery. Suggested solutions are to check and secure battery connections and attempt to jump-start the car.

Check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and tightly secured. A loose or corroded connection can cause electrical issues. If the connections are fine, try jump-starting the car to see if the battery might be weak. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
None of them are the fault, is there anything to do when the theft protection is on if they are the ones that are the fault?

Try resetting the anti-theft system by locking and unlocking the car with the key fob several times. If that doesn't work, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "on" position without starting the engine, then back to "off" and repeat this a few times. This might reset the system. Let me know if this helps or if you have more questions!
