Hi All,

I have a 430 CCA battery from NRMA in the car. The battery shows Charged condition (Green colour) on the visual indicator on the battery top. I have very infrequent use of the car. Once in a week for grocery in a nearby Woolies/ Coles etc. I checked the Battery voltage and it's 12.73 V.

How it happened : I took the car to a railway station parking to catch the train at around 11 AM. Returned at 12:00 AM in the night and it won't even crank. Could be battery, could be starter motor, could be solenoid, could be the immobiliser, a bad alternator or in worst case jammed engine problem.
Car had no problem whatsoever earlier. I am also suspecting if my one and only key got deprogrammed by my walking through those magnetically charged Railway ticket gate openers which read the magnetic tape on a train ticket. Anybody with similar experience and a possible cause and solution ??


Thanks in advance,

Cheers ...

Revision 1 : - Guys....I am waiting from last week, can anybody throw some light on my problem ??? Does Magna's Permanent Key get de-programmed ??? Is there any possibility of Key getting deprogrammed due to going into any high magnetic field ? BTW when I try to crank the engine, ABS sign comes up......And no sound of cranking !! Can anyone help please ?
