This morning i found a dead car ... the battery was totaly dead and had to call out the recovery guys for a home start. the battery is charging ok as he checked it with his meter, but i was puzzled as to why it had drained over the w/e i know it was cold but the car is usually very reliable when it comes to starting! nothing had been "accidentally" left on that i could see. Now every time i start the car the lights start flashing??????? what's that all about? i plan to leave the battery on trickle over night but why are the lights flashing when i turn on the ignition now? can anyone shed any light on this (pardon the pun). i assume it is something to do with the alarm but just can't work it out this has never happened before even after having the battery off!
