Completely Dead

Post by kentman1981 »

Peugeot 406 2.0

I've recently had a broken for & therefore not been able to drive for approximately 7 weeks.

Now I'm out of plaster and went out to start my car and nothing!! No sounds or clicks, no lights, clock, radio........Nothing!!

I attempted to recharge the battery & still nothing. I tried jumping it & no luck. I'm hop pong people will advise that it's just the battery & I'll need a new one but thought I'd ask for any advice.

Hi, I had a similar thing with my old 306....

I just got a second hand battery for £15 that was fully charged and this did the trick - sometimes a battery gets too dead to accept charge.

Stick another battery on, wait a few minutes before attempting to start the car to keep the BSI happy, then give it a whirl. :cheesy:

Out of curiosity, what did you break... :wink:
