Had the zed 2 days and left the lights on 3 hours ago. I go to unlock the car using the hornet alarm fob and nothing.... no bleep. Now i haven't attempted to open the door because it's quite late and I'm worried the alarm will go off all night because the battery is dead.

 

Any ADVICE?

 

Shall I just try and open the door and start the car?

Battery is dead mate. Use the key and open the bonnet and get it charged up.

If the alarm is inactive due to low battery it is unlikely the engine will start without a jump anyhow, what you could do is arm your self with a 10 mm spanner and someone holding a torch, soon as the door is open, release the bonnet and get the battery disconnected, that is assuming there is enough power to set the alarm off anyhow.

 

If you jump start from another car, after hooking up give it 5 minutes before trying to start it, that gives the battery chance to receive some charge, of course of you have a battery charger even better, leave it in charge over night.

The alarm is currently going off. Not overly loud but the neighburs are out. All tools at work. Trying to source some jump leads...

 

Awsome night so far

Stick a towel over the alarm siren.

Alarm stopped. Battery must be completely dead. Got a mate coming over with jump leads. Will leave the battery hooked up with the jump car running for 5 mins as Jeff said and then take it for a drive

Sorted :lol:

Lol not really but I was charging my battery last week in the garage and every time I tried to secure the leads the alarm went of making my ears bleed! So I covered the siren with a towel and it was very effective in reducing the noise.
