HELP DESK

[EdmondLeaf]

My friend send me text this morning on his 2 d of driving

My leaf would not start this morning after setting up for 80% charge appears to be charged but no bars and yellow warning light

wonder if maybe a good idea to have "Help desk" topic so other people will provide suggestions to what in my believe is nothing serious.

Try disconnecting the 12 volt battery for 5 minutes. In any event, he is going to want to go to a dealer to see what codes are set.

Perhaps it did not actually charge at all?
You say "no bars"?

 

[TomT]

How many bars did he have before he plugged it in the previous evening? Gary might be on the right track and it actually did not charge for whatever reason...

10 bars when he left my home last night for 20 mile trip to his home

 

[TonyWilliams]

And then he left the car on, correct? Dead battery.

 

[garygid]

Dead 12v battery?
Check the voltage and charge if necessary.

 

[EdmondLeaf]

He said is fixed, but not sure what was done, will report back when he tells me.

Disconnecting the 12 volt battery for 5 minutes did the trick. Thank you all
