Battery fully charged and plugged into the car, the start/stop button continues to flash orange, I believe the battery was showing around 12.9v whilst in the car.
New issue: Remember how I said the Active Bonnet System light was intermittently flashing? (See pictures) I believe that its been hit whilst parked up at the garage or in the overflow car park (active pub), causing said flashing dash light.
They are coming over tomorrow to clear the codes and get it to work again, so will have that uncomfortable conversation then.
@ian.prossor I only get the warning light flashing when the car starts, which it currently doesn’t, so will sort that out first then get back to you, thanks for the tips!
You should probably notify your insurance company, even if you don’t end up making a claim it’s best that you tell them sooner than later if your car is damaged.
I would check them all, main box is in the engine bay, the other is in the passenger footwell
Both have diagrams of the slots and fuse size on the inside of the lids (just get the orientation right)
There are some online too such as this:
I’d be surprised if it isn’t part of your terms for insurance (it is with my policy).
From what little I know of the active bonnet system, if it were at fault due to accident damage, I don’t think you’d want to end up footing the bill.
Still, hopefully it’s just the low battery been causing strange errors
just thought I would let you know what happened when I went to start my car after leaving it for it was actually 23 nights not 21 well it just started straight away not even the slightest hesitation. where does all this garbage come from that I read on here oh you will struggle to start it after leaving it for two weeks. after reading this on here I expected it not to start so I took a jump pack with me do people make these stories up or is it just pub talk
@rebel99 being honest, in the five years I’ve owned this car, I’ve left it for a month on multiple occasions and gone to start it, no issues whatsoever. Maybe pub talk, maybe from earlier models?
@Roadster_Robbie thank you kindly, will have a look, if corroded, would clearing the code work? Just thinking, as holding the key to the start button changes nothing.
