Riz Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) HI I've not used the Accord since London ULEZ came into force on the 29/08/23. I went to turn it over today and it was practically dead. Jump started it OK but then the power steering warning light came on. This went off when I revved the engine so thought that was down to a low battery. Left the engine running for about 10 minutes with the occasional bit of revving but after a while other warning lights came on (VSA I think). I turned it off and tried to restart but it was dead again. Anyone have any ideas as to why? Thanks in advance for any help.

Trevor Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Sounds like the battery is still discharged the best method is to use a battery conditioner which will sort it completely (desulphation process) If not then jump start it again and give it a long run at speed to ensure that it is fully charged but if its an old battery then it may need replacing if it doesn't restart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Got it to Japex in Kings Langley and they said it was the alternator, which took the battery out with it. £660 later... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
