MATE! Thank you so much!! Didnt have a clue what had happened. The battery went flat because I left the ignition on all night! Charged it up fully and no ignition lights! Watched your video and in 1 minute the van was up and running again. I took off the negative lead from the battery for 30 seconds reattached it and it started first turn. WELL DONE AND THANKYOU SIR!

Vauxhall Vivaro have the same problem, it happens if you turn the ignition key on and off then back on to fast, the ECU Doesn't like it. the fix is disconnect the battery then re connect and the ECU re sets itself. which is what you did. as they say a job well done

top man. just had a freak out with a non start up. thing that threw me off from battery issues was i get all the dash lights come up with the ignition in the prime position and then when you go to turn the engine over nothing no clicking either. tried the disconnect procedure and still nothing. am getting over 12v from the battery so put the nocco booster on it and it started clicking which means its not detecting a battery or at least a connection so have put it on trickle charge over night. thanks for the pointer. fingers crossed i can reach my customers tomorrow! cheers!

Hi, just watched your video. We have a Renault master that we’ve converted into a camper. On 3 or 4 occasions we’ve been away over night or a couple of nights and woke up to a flat battery. We’ve had a few people look at it but they’ve came up with nothing. Do you think disconnecting our battery and reconnecting could solve our problems? Does doing this almost reset it? Thanks 👌
@L6632 жыл бұрын
Yes I am pretty sure this could help ! When you have a flat battery you need to check the voltage on the battery terminals to see if the battery is flat. Campers are notorious for power drain with inverters

It's a Master, not a Traffic. :-/ And mine has no life in it at all, no clicking when I turn the key over. It only manages to get a small amount of power from borrowed charge from my mate's vehicle but it doesn't store the charge. Might be the starter/alternator.
@jamesbarratt5933 жыл бұрын
The fact you would spend all that time disconnecting the battery to carry it over to a small uber light amp tester makes me laugh. Not logical at all. The time involved against other way round and taking battery tester to battery. Big difference. This day and age lots of weird electrical faults can be got around by simply putting lights on full and then disconnect battery. Connect both lead together with lights still on. Wait 30 secs. Then turn lights off. Reconnect battery to an empty system. That works for so many things.

To jump start it from under the bonnet ? You connect the negative to large unpainted metal area in the engine bay - most of the time engine has this metal ring/hook which you can use to attach negative jump lead.
