Dead battery!?!
Left the FRS in the garage for 2 days and wouldn't even turn over this morning. Got a lot of flashing from every light on the dash. Hmm... throw a trickle charger on it and let it sit whilst I do a little snow shoveling. 3 hours later it fires up like it's supposed to. Heated seat was off, heater was off so the sucker would warm up quicker, dome light off. Only thing left on was the cd player.
Proceeded to cruise around and it fired up when I turned it on and off a couple of times when I got back home. Will leave on the trickle charger tonight and have them check the system when I go in for an oil change unless it really leaves me standing before that. Last edited by Hoahao; 02-22-2015 at 06:50 PM.

How old is the battery? Any after market electronics? Temp of your garage?

Garage unheated so the temp was probably about 25 degrees. Car was built Spring of '14 and sat at the dealers unti I bought it mid October. No after market electronics.
If what I've read here is accurate, letting the battery go flat weakens it. I suspect at the dealers it was left unattended for months at a time before I bought it. Course, something might be wrong with the charging system too. |

Left mine for 3 days during the coldest weather we have had (-25) and it started on the first crank no problem.
There do seem to be a handful of guys that have had battery issues on here though. Take it in and have a draw test done and you may find that you have joined that exclusive club!
