Hi everybody I hope your all well and good.
My 03 plate 2.2 cd auto has been sitting idle for about 3 months (don't ask......my life's a mess at the moment
) so obviously the battery has gone flat.
Today I attempted to jump start it but no joy.
Once I attached the jump leads I left them on with the other cars engine running for a good ten minutes before attempting to start my omega.
As soon as I attached the leads my dashboard lights came on as expected, however once ten minutes had passed and I tried to start it I heard a click and the dashboard died and it didn't attempt to start at all just completely dead.
I left it charging for another 5 minutes but still no lights or life at all.
I then detached the jump leads from my battery and immediately put them back on again and that made all the lights and stereo come on again.
I left it charging for another 5 minutes including me revving the other cars engine and the exact same thing happened again when I tried to start it.
Removed the jump leads and put them back on the same as before and once again the lights and stereo came on and then died when I tried to start it.
This happened a couple of more time before not even removing the leads could get any life into it and now it's dead completely
I checked the fuses under the steering column and none have blown and also what is important to point out is the both the battery and alternator are brand new. They were both replaced a couple of months before I parked the car up for the last time with no issues whatsoever.
Help please!!!
