starting problems following a flat battery

[John.S]

There is probably something on here already but as unable to search any views ??

problem started on saturday with me letting my battery run flat as I had forgotten to plug the trickle cherge in (or life support as the missus calls it).

Normally I just plug this back in and leave a day or two and bang back to normal.

This time however I plugged it in and the battery has been charging for a good few days now however I cant turn the immoboliser off with the fob to start the car or even lock/alarm the car now.
I seemed too much of a coincidence that the battery on my fob would go the same time so I dug out my spare and that doesnt do anything either.

Any ideas ? would it be electrical or perhaps not recognising my fob some reason ?

have to excuse me, im bit of a mechanical retard so any assitance would be really helpful in getting the cerb up and running again

cheers

First thing to try is disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Have the blipped ready when you reconnect to silence the alarm if it goes off...

And leave your boot open in case it locks the car

thanks chaps

What terminal do you do first or is just one ? told you I was a mechanical retard so any suggestions will probabaly lead to more questions :-)

I went to the same school of mechanical know how as you, but Id hazard a guess at just the +

thanks all, disconnecting the battery resolved the problem
