What voltage is the battery showing under load..?
Not usual for flaunt batteries to nominally recharge but then collapse as soon as any load applied..just had it with a big leisure battery that I let go flat..never been used ..shows 13v off load..any load and it’s down to 9v..but even CTEK says it’s ok and fully charged..
Then it’s fault code reader time assuming the battery is good..
I tried a brand new battery and I'm getting the same issue - some lights show that power is indeed going through the car (radio, parking break) but putting key in just illuminates the central dash elements and i get the bong of ccid 719 which 'indicates' a faulty battery. the new battery was registered to the car using carly and all went smoothly. Attempting to move into phase two of ignition does nothing, absolutely no more response from dash etc.
error code looked to be A3C1 - i had the frm module fixed and reconnected it before the new battery. was told this should just be plug and play.
im at a loss now, no idea where to turn.
i already have a new car and this one (14+ years old, cat s, speakers on their way out, hydraulic pump issues which started this whole thing) leading me to think this is just worth scrapping.
i can't start it to get it to an indy, it's probably only worth £500-£1000 on a private sale in working order anyway so don't really want to spend a few £100's getting it picked up, inspected, then worked on etc.
anyone want a track car? lol.
seriously, if anyone has any 'try this at home' next steps then great, but if not I think I'll get what I can for it and move on.
