Title: Non starter/Electrical issues
Post by: keeko on August 03, 2007, 01:32:09 PM

I noticed last night coming home from work my dash instruments being erratic, speedo on and off and airbag and various other lights flicking on an off then no rev counter etc.
    Woke up this morning to no power  :? Nothing. No lights, no remote locking, lifeless. I used the key to get in and I`m just going to try a jump. Possible drain on the battery? Any ideas??

Battery has a blown cell - it happens just like that. New battery - I had exactly the same happen to me when I had my grand.

Cheers Tim,
Ok, it started with the leads from my mates Jeep and Ive took it a run so I`ll let her sit overnight and check it from there.  
  Maybe try a new battery then?

Yep. I reckon that would do it.

Before you condemn the battery, charge it properly overnight and then check the alternator is charging properly.
