Hi, I have a query on my Chimaera 500.
Drove it last W/E- everything fine. Have had it on trickle charge since then ( and for ages before that to be honest).

Today- nothing- no lights, no plip from the keyfob, no immobiliser flash- just dead.

Have had it in garage unlocked so can get in it.

The alarm system is new from Karl Baker in the past 6 months.

Very odd- do I need to get the battery jumped?

Thanks

Matt

Strange. Trickle charger should have kept up battery charge unless rtickle charger is caput or made a poor connection.
META does drain battery. I have a battery cut off switch on mine and therefore xero drain. Good luck with jump.

Thanks for that- the more I look at it it seems like the connector fitted at last service ( comes round the footwell)is not sending trickle to the battery.

Does that lead have an inline fuse that has blown?

Thanks and yes there is an in line fuse. Think the fault lies with the actual charger though. Will need to replace this. AA jumped so had to drive for an hour in the early summer sunshine to charge up the battery- shame!!
