Hi all,

I'm after a bit of help with my ZT please. MK II 2.0 Diesel

My car sits all week at work. It just gets used at the weekends.
On friday when I fired the car up, it sounded a little lazy turning the car over.
So I used works battery tester and it read "Good battery - recharge"
The battery is only 3 months or so old.

So after traveling home on Friday, I removed the battery. Charged it up over night and refitted it on the Saturday morning.

I came to go out in it today ( Sunday ) and found that now my speedo doesn't work, my handbrake warning light is on all the time and non of my electric windows work. My doors don't auto lock when I drive off either. My display that tells me MPG / Trip / Average speed etc is also inoperative.

I've checked every fuse I can find. Both in the engine bay and in the passenger footwell fuse box. All fuses are fine.

The ECU is dry. I regularly check the drains.

I have removed the battery several times in the time I have had the car and never had a problem. I'm at a complete loss.

If anyone has an ideas what I could try please?

Many thanks

Richard
