hiya all ive just got back from a great holiday in oz and to find my car is dead, my dad thought it was a flat battery so with great intensions he tried to charge it for me, he connected the battery charger straight to the car with the + and - still connected :s, now im back ive taken it off the car and charged it correctly and still no joy, i think he might have spiked the car, is there any fuses or control units that usually go

 

any help is great thanks again guys

 

p.s. sorry its crap english im a little jet laged lol and mildly pissed lol

Have you tried cleaning up the terminal contacts? Is the battery actually holding the charge?

My wife's car drains it's battery so I regularly charge it with the battery in the car - I've done the same with a Z in the past with no apparent damage / trouble. I think that your car is sulking cos of the great time you've been having. ''How dare you go on holiday and leave me at home, all alone'' ...it's thinking.

 

Of note, my everyday na stood all over Christmas and was very difficult to start - seemed like it was lack of fuel. I tried and tried, didn't saw the battery flat, but it was getting that way - and in the end it fired with much pumping of the loud pedal. Since then all's been ok.

 

Good luck
