Question Non starter.

Got into car this morning, no lights on, checked battery, showing fully charged. Nothing on turn of key and no interior lights on. Suggestions would be appreciated. Not used car for a few weeks, but it was O.K. then.

My neighbour checked across the terminals and said there no connection. What that means, i don't know. I am not that well educated on electric problems.

My guess is battery has bought the farm and refusing charge. Hence battery charger thinks its fully charged when in fact its dead
