Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree

[SteveS]

Morning all and a Happy Christmas to anyone here today.

 

It's a nice morning so I thought I would take my 07 Cayman out for a quick spin and to deliver the final few Christmas cards. I have not started it for a couple of weeks but not usually an issue.

 

When I turned the key every warning light possible lit up. System Fault, Rear Spoiler fault, Lighting fault, It beeps and when I try to start the apply brake light comes on and nothing.

 

I disconnected the battery thinking that this may reset everything but no change.

 

Anyone know of a fix? Had it happen before?

 

Look forward to any replies.

Merry Christmas

 

Low battery probably throwing up faults. Have you taken it for a drive yet? Take it out for a good drive and I’d bet that clears the faults. If you can’t get it started then try charging the battery.  

 

Should probably ask Santa for a battery conditioner

Thanks, battery on charge now so will give it a few hours then try again.

Good advice from Beanoir, I too would suspect a flat(ish) battery to be the root cause of your probs. 

[SteveS]

I know I could rely on you guys. Battery charged over Christmas Day and reconnected this morning and all working fine. Quick clean and off for a drive in the sunshine.

 

happy days.
