Nedh Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I have a 2013 90. Gets very little use apart from between September and February. Recently tried to start it but no joy, not a sound. I jumped it and all good. As I drove it a short distance the red alarm light remained on so decided to return to base. The fob would not work so locked with the key. Tried second new fob, no joy. Next day tried again this time it turned, part fired then stopped. Tried several times eventually it started. Drove if for 20miles all good. Next day it would fire then stop. I tried jumping again but same issue. Turns but will not keep engine running. total novice and know zilch about motor vehicles any ideas apart from roadside rescue?

Langers Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Try a new battery ... red light indicates not accepting charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’d also agree that battery is goosed. Sounds like it’s not holding any charge even after the 20 mile run. And the truck probably needs a good run out to clear it. A good service wouldn’t go a miss if it’s not had one. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedh Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thank you. Been away. Yes with battery dead. Replaced but then had to use EKA code to re-mobilize engine tonight. All good started up, all lights out as they should be but now imobilizer/fob doesn't work. Changed battery on that but no joy on either fob. Any thoughts.
