Hello, new to the forum having bought an 2.0i E85 2005 model

Was changing the brake light yesterday and left the ignition on by mistake, once back in the car later battery must have drained and was dead, jumped it to start but now have no info appearing on dashboard , speedo not working, no indicators, fan controls not working etc Is there some kind of reset required and if so what is it.

Sounds like your battery is toast and that will cause various electrical issues around the car

get it checked see what volts/amps across it is?
If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Or, if you only jump started it with a flat battery...charge the battery overnight. It might come back to life with a properly charged battery.

Can they sometimes go into transport when the battery goes flat?
