Car: Vauxhall Tigra

Eventually got the car going but no power on the accelerator
Posted: Apr 13, 2022 (2 years ago)
Need to LOAD test battery and check alternator charging o.k If battery has dud cell or alternator faulty ( or both ) could be inadequate power for engine

The only light on the dashboard is a spanner no other warning lights only had the car just over a week and it's been running fine until this morning turn the key flat battery then got no power on the accelerator so the car wouldn't move

I will try this later when I get home just can't understand why the batteries run down overnight

If you have a dud cell , battery is knackered and wont hold a charge , or you have a drain on electrics

So would that cause it not to have an acceleration and a spanner to be on the dashboard

You should always start a new post rather than tag on to an old one as it can go unnoticed First thing I would check are the two fuses for the steel roof in the engine compartment fuse box , pull both and then refit back
