Evil Elvis Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I used my freelander to jump start and old mondeo that i have today, I left them connected at the battery while working on the mondeo, the the mondeo threw off and error code saying the battery terminal wasnt tight enough, i tightened it but shorted the socket against something and got a wack. Nothing changed, mondeo all fixed,....haurrah....now the freelander is DEAD The battery has a full charge, there are no fuses that are dead, the relays are clicking but turn the key and theres nothing!!! Do they have a cut off switch or something? anyone have any ideas? Sticko was here looking at it for me, hes a sparky and checked relays etc but didnt know about imobilisers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silpig5 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 silly question , have you locked the motor with fob then unlocked and tried ? or pull the battery lead off and leave for a min or two then try the same . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendersons Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Plug the hair clippers and dryer back into the lighter socket and it will be as good as new. Or try a different key unlocking the door with it a few times first could be the immobiliser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
