My neighbours Cerb has been dormant for 2+ months (with accumate plugged in) while he replaced the suspension bushes.

Wanting to start the car today there is no sign of life.

The battery is fully charged.
We have disconnected the battery and reset the alarm (batt disconnect for 10 secs, reconnect + hold the fob key down for 3 secs until indicators no longer flash)
Fob into immobiliser to disarm and press the starter button and NOTHING...NADA.
I can not hear the fuel pump priming either - just silence - no beeps nothing

I am not familiar with Cerbs - at which point do any of the instrument lights light up during start?

Any advice appreciated PLEASE.

Thanks, I've just spoken to that clever man Carl Baker...

We're tracing the problem armed with multimeter.

The same scenario happened to me last week. Advice given was to disconnect ingition terminal box within boot and then re-connect. Worked for me.

Thanks, Carl suggested we use a multimeter to confirm the red wire is indeed live on the ignition box. Will do this over the weekend.
