So I was working on my car and doing many things.
Opening and closing doors, turning lights on and off.
I totally forgot that I was running down the battery.
I finished my projects and planned to move the car.
Getting in, everything looked normal until I tried to start the engine.
Depressing the clutch and pushing the start button.
EVERYTHING WENT NUTS.
Of course the engine did not start.
However, all of the dash lights started to flash in a strange manner, the chime sounded, the NAV display did crazy things.
Needless to say, all of this scared the crap out of me.
I thought I had killed my car.
Having never seen this before.
I disconnected the things I was working on and it still the same thing.
I got out my code reader and tried to read/clear and codes I might have set only to get a code reading/clearing error.
After the panic subsided, I realized what I had done.
I connected my battery charger to correct the problem.
If I had not been so stupid and panicked I would have taken a video of this.
The point of this is for those that might see this in the future.
It may just be a LOW BATTERY.
