Thank you for your quick answers. I did some test drives in the past few days and I noticed that: I can start and driver the car no problem but even when I am driving it - Except for the two odometers (the partial and the total one)m none of the dashboard instruments work: - The digital speed indicator is stuck on 0 and the indicator gauge is also stuck on 0 - The RPM gauge is on 0 - The temperature gauge is fixed on 0 and the warning light is always on (even when the car is off) - The fuel gauge is fixed on 0 and the empty warning light is always on (even when the car is off). The tank is full - The clack is fixed on 12:00, does not update and I cannot set it to the correct time. Do you still think is a bad battery? Thank you in advance, -
Hello all, After using the car very little this winter, with occasional sub freezing temperatures in my garage, yesterday the battery was completely dead. After charging the battery all night, I was able to start it at the first try this morning and drove around the block ok. However, some of the dashboard lights now stay on: Speed, Clock, Water Temperature warning light and empty tank light (the tank IS nearly empty) even when the ignition key is off and the car is locked with the remote. The clock is fixed on 12:00, does not update as times goes by and I cannot set it. Clock and water warning light misbehaved the same also when I drove the car. The radio and the rest of the electrical system seem to work properly. A little computer attached to the diagnostic plug gives a Battery reading of 12.2 V when the car is off. Currently I have the battery connected to a battery tender, but I don't know that I can attribute the dashboard problem to a "bad battery" I searched the forum as much as allowed but I could not find a similar problem described or solved. Thank you very much in advance for any help. ______________________ 2001 Boxster S
