Help I am stuck! Fridge drained the battery. Can’t start
Hi

Hi left the fridge in 2 days and forgot it. Embarassed
Battery was complete flat.

Tried to start with jumpstarters but alarm went off and couldn’t disarm with the fob.
Put the key in the starter switch and after a while the alarm stopped.

When i start the engine it dies immediately.

Reloaded the battery last night, but fob not working.

The only reaction i get is when the key is in position 2 and i push the lock button. It bleeps the horn 2 times (no lights).

I need to go. Please advice what to do.

Hi,
What you can try is take off connections on the battery and touch the 2 cables one or two seconds to make a reset.
Before take the good action with the key to try avoid the alarm to go.

Hope it will help.
If not be sure the the battery of your fob is good

You need to charge the battery. Jump starting will usually get a car going if there is some life in the battery, but if the battery is completely dead then you have problems.

When battery is sorted out be sure to press the fob with the doors closed multiple times until the lights flash and the alarm light on the dash slows from a rapid flash.
You should then be good to go, you do however need the battery fully charged or a replacement. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R
