Hello fellow TVR mates,
My 1996 Griffith 500 had a flat battery Yesterday. The former owner had a permanent charger attached to the battery….so I just connected that, and let it charge for 3 hours.
Hmmm…. When checking up on the car the hazard light-sodavand where suddenly un, as Well as the red light bulb on the swicht for for the right hand electrical window!!!!!
I disconnected the charger immediatly….
When checking the battery…it’s was no good anymore with only 6.7 volts.
I´ve now connected a new battery….. however the problem remains!😔😔

I´d very much appreciate somme solid advice as to where this problem is on the car…and how to fix it?
Regards

Hello. Is the new battery fully charged?
Did you reset the alarm after fitting it?
