After Flat Battery !help Please

[Paul is]

Hi all

iv a bit of a problem,after been parked up for 2 weeks my Battery was pure flat,not even ignition lights so i removed Battery and put it on charge over night. then today put it back in my 2000 is200 and it started perfect,i went for drive and came home,this is where it gets weird!! i turned off car and took out key and my ignition lights were on,batt,engine light etc...it started straight away then turned off car again and thelights still on,even the heating working without keys.

i had to disconnect the Battery now over night to have the lights off

If anyone could help me it would be great,iv searched forums and couldnt find anything :(

Oh i did have bodywork done to left (passenger) wing few weeks ago if this could have done something to it

Thanks in advance

Check for moisture in the fuse box in left footwell. Only other thing I could suggest is a reset of the ECU,

IS200: Resetting ECU

Make sure the ignition is turned off

Remove the engine bay fuse box cover

Remove the 20Amp/25Amp EFI fuse

Remove the 15Amp ETCS fuse

Wait 30 seconds

Re-insert the two fuses

Install the fuse box cover

T his is sometimes advised to reset errors and if changing to higher performance fuels such as V Power.

EdGood luck

Sounds lik they nicked something. Alternatively the switch on the back of the ignition has been known to go faulty.
