I have a problem I've never encountered before in 40 years of motoring. My 2007 Crossfire Roadster is completely dead, but the (2-month old) battery is totally fine. Thinking this was a flat battery issue I tried charging it, but both of my chargers say it is in tip-top condition and fully charged. I then tried jump starting the Xfire, but still totally dead. FULL DISCLOSURE: I stupidly left the trunk lid open overnight, but never thought the small courtesy light on the trunk lid could cause this. And anyway, wouldn't that just deplete the battery?
Could it be the main fuse has failed? Or does the Xfire have some strange 'you-left-the-trunk-open-you-idiot' fail safe?
Any help with this would be most appreciated. Thanks!
I have a 2008 Roadster and have the same problem, Battery is only a year old but ran dead just by having the car sit for 14 days. The guy I bought it from told me to disconnect the battery when the car sits for a couple of days, that the Alarm system uses lots of current. Never had a car that did this. Also I'm going to buy a good battery charger and tickle charge it when it sits in my garage. Does any body know if I can disconnect the alarm by pulling a fuse.
