Hoping someone can help me out with the following issue.

Tried starting my 2000 2.7ltr that had not been started in 2weeks with no success

I received audio beeps as well as warning light with windows flickering up and down

Booster the car with success and let it run for approx 10 minutes

Tried to restart with success

Left battery charger on car, but the warnings I mention above have not disappeared

My thoughts are that there must be a reset of some sort for this type of situation, but I looked through my manual and it does not speak of one.

Any thoughts on what I need to do to get warnings to disappear??

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie

Is it possible to start the car after charging and without a booster ? You have to be sure concern the battery condition, 100% is the reference.

If yes, try this:

Note the code for the radio or PCM

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery

Disconnect the positive cable from the battery

To preserve for accidents - remove the battery

Connect the negative and positive cable with each other by using a start cable for 15 minutes

Install the battery

Connect the positive cable to the battery

Connect the negative cable to the battery

Do the learning process for the windows

Insert the code for the radio or PCM

Hope this help.

I know it maybe a dumb question but what is a start cable? By connecting the pos and neg together does this reset the computer?

We call that start cables, i don't no in English. It consurns a set of cables, 1 red and 1 black, sold in auto stores to connect a spare battery with the car battery to start up. Connecting poss. cable with neg. cable is the ultimate manner to reset all control boxes, with the battery REMOVED to prevent you for accidents.

In the US we call these Jumper Cables.
