I decided to clean out the climate control panel from my S60 the other day. The thermostat had become clogged with dust and was causing the fan behind it to make a whirring noise.
In order to remove the panel, I had to put the car's gear selector into
L to give me enough room to work. In doing so, the keys can't be removed (cap'n obvious) and because I had been playing around with the headlights the day before, testing to see if they would auto off when the ignition was switched off, I had sure enough flattened my battery.
After charging the battery, this message now appears on my dash:
And it seems a lot of people have rectified this by using some sort of diagnostic tool. Knowing a mate with one and swapping beer/drink for help would be great, however I'm in NZ. What are my options?
