1998 Mercedes Benz ML320 6 cyl 3.2 mileage: 68,000. Was working perfectly three weeks ago. I did not used for those three weeks and the battery went down (discharged). I took the battery out to charge it. The battery was checked and it is in good condition (< 2 years old), I charged it and put it back and now the SUV starts but it goes off immediately after. It stayed without a battery for some hours (<5). Do you know if is there a reset button, a known issue or anything that needs to be done after replacing or recharging a battery, having been without power for some hours, in this vehicle? Or what do you think the problem could be?

By disconnecting and removing the battery and then replacing it, you activated the anti-theft device in your car. If you arm and disarm the anti-theft device, it should reset. If this does not work using the remote, try locking and unlocking the driver side door with the key.
