Hey all,
After leaving my car sitting for 4 days, went to start her this morning and nothing. Not even a splutter so it seems the batteries are shot. I have had the car for almost 6 years and never had a single issue (that does mean my batteries are at least this old though).
Car used to sit for a week or two quite happily. Pretty sure no interior lights etc. were left on to cause this so although it could well be batteries past their lives, I am a bit surprised how flat they must have gotten. Once I opened the car (electronically with the key) I couldn't use the key anymore so didn't even have the power to look/open the car after the first go.
When I opened the boot using the key, the viewing window on the left side battery was black (meaning insufficient charge but not red which would mean battery is done) and there was a constant ticking coming from the fuse/relay box sitting just above the battery.
I have gone and bought two new ones as it is time they were changed but I am bit concerned that after I fit them there is still an issue with something causing a drain. Any likely candidates here that could cause complete drain?
