Cyberwitch Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Hi guys, I'm hoping somone can help. So yesterday alarm starts going off and key fob won't work. Go to car have to open with key to find I left something plugged in and battery flat. Work colleagues jump started me but now my flat tyre warning is on, my gauge is in km not miles and I have no sync or heated rear and no lights on hazard warming or lock button. Halford checked battery all ok. 65 PLATE Ecosport. Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The battery state of charge (SOC) is still very low. It requires a full recharge with a battery charger for at least 12 hours. Make sure to connect the positive lead of the charger direct to the battery terminal and connect the negative lead to the vehicle chassis earth point, NOT the battery terminal. The default settings for the instrument cluster is Km. Just use the menu and select miles, see handbook for details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT70 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Yep, battery is still flat, charge it fully or replace if you know it's old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwitch Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thank I will charge it up over the weekend and hope that sorts it. Can't change back to miles until unit works as all vehicle settings are in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwitch Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 battery been on charge now for 6 hours says its full, but still no clock, radio heated rear window or lights on door lock and hazard warning lights. Fuses checked all ok. Any other suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 6 hours is not long enough unless you have an industrial battery charger. To full reset all the modules in the car and get everything to reboot you need to disconnect the negative lead from the battery. Leave it disconnected for around 15 minutes and then reconnect. Wait a couple of minutes after reconnecting it and the car should have returned to normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
