Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I could not open the boot to check/replace the battery, so I opened a small fuse panel in the left of the driver's, pulled out battery connector there and tried

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1Original post

Hi! I have 2005 Carrera S. Recently my battery started to die. I guess it is about time for a new battery anyway. When I put in the key in stuck in ignition. It looks like the lock needs power to release. I could not open the boot to check/replace the battery, so I opened a small fuse panel in the left of the driver's, pulled out battery connector there and tried to hook up electric charger there to charge the battery a little. It did not work. The charger does not show it draining any power, so perhaps the connector is is not working. I must mention that my owner's manual is locked in the boot Then I tried to charge via cigarette lighter slot. It was more promising. When I first plugged the charger, the airbag light on dashboard went on and the car started ringing (like it does when you forgot your seat belt). I left it there for few hours but when I came back the car was dark and silent but my power charger was making clicking noises as if short circuit protection get triggered on and off. This is where I am right now and I am looking for advise what could be done in this situation. Towing it to the dealer would be my last-resource option. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Your charger doesn't have enough power to pop the frunk. You need a donor battery to jump it. Watch

POST 3Original post

Thanks! You were right. The problem was that my charger was too smart and it did not detect the load and was not switching on. I used another car battery and was able to pop the trunk. I've checked the battery electrolyte level and it was low on one side. Filled it up and plugged the charger to charge it. It is charging now. I wonder if I can somehow check the battery health after the charging. I am concerned that it might charge enough for me to start and drive off but I won't be able to start again once I stop. I have Bleutooth ODBII dongle. Any useful battery information could be extracted though it? For example this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mx.com.scanator " Reading and graphing battery voltage" How the voltage plot over time of healthy battery look?

POST 4Original post

we sell this..This is the brand that started it all and its not the knock offs.. and i take it on a long trips.. you can restart a car about 10 times.. before all charge is gone.. Lemon

"I wonder if I can somehow check the battery health after the charging" Any automotive parts retailer that sells batteries will check it for you for free. (Pep Boys, Auto Zone, etc., and just about anyone else that sells batteries).:cheers:

POST 6Original post

After charging the battery the car seems to be starting OK. I will get it checked at the store anyway. Now I am seeing check engine light and my ODBII tool reports following error codes: meta-info header:Error Codes file version:1 type:5 time:1420562777673 name:Trouble Codes codes: codes_p: codes_raw:43000000000000;; codes_p_raw:47000000000000;; ***** Error Codes =================== Pending Codes Raw values Error Codes 43000000000000;; Panding Codes 47000000000000;; Does anybody knows what these mean?
