Help needed please :-)
Ok cars been in storage and the enevertable happened yer the battery was dead
So I put a battery pack on it and fired up right away
My issue is now the traction control light is on along with the tyre pressure gauge and a yellow hand break light
I have jumped the car before with no proplem so this is new one sure it’s something simple
Any advice /help would be great
Cheers
Jay

I'd suggest just firing it up with a battery pack will mean there is still very little juice in the battery, take it off and give it a proper full charge, reset your warning lights and go from there, its well known these cars electrical systems are sensitive to low voltages, or tired/knackered batteries
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble

Had this a while ago. Bit of a pig to be honest. Ended up changing.
Battery
Both wheel speed sensors
Front pads
Front discs
If your readings are wheel speed sensor implausible the it's could be what I had. If it's abs related it could be worse.
Do you have a light on for a light being out. I had the far left tail light coming on and off at random. Bulb was fine but wasn't getting enough power.

Have you actually driven it since the jump start. If not the lights will probably go out as you drive it a short distance

Flat battery, when mine was on the way out they symptoms were the same. I charged it up, made it about 10 miles and it all went again. Dead battery. Replaced it and all was well.

Going to take the battery off and give it a good charge
I have drove it the battery light went out but the others stayed on I guess the cold is not helping

Not worth the hassle. Its a known fact that even a new battery will not be the same again if it goes flat and is then recharged. Couple that with a car that is sensitive to battery voltage and you have a recipe for trouble. Batteries are fairly cheap items so just replace and forget it.
