Flat Battery - central control panel

[ColinWM]

Had a flat battery and got going with jump start - however the central control panel is ‘blank’ so can’t use any van functions - lights roof fridge etc

Any insight to this ? - is this usual after a jump start - any fix

Have you ran the van out for an hour or two to get everything fully back up to charge?

Thanks - ran for about 30 mins - not an hour -

Just seems odd - feel like issue may be related to the flat battery

So the engine battery was flat. What about the Leisure Batteries?

It might be worth plugging the vehicle into EHU for 12-24 hrs.

I just took my California to the VW dealer because my screen went blank. It a one year old used one and I only got it 2 weeks ago.

They said it was due to leisure batteries being low and when they looked it was working. Sounded suspicious to me and I thought the screen may have had a fault.

But after a day long charge all seems OK now.

Hithere , had the same problem on a 2020 cali beach. Both batteries were dead after 4 weeks. I jump start (big mistake) and everythings worked... but the central camper screen. Long story short: screen was dead, I assume it was because of the jump start, I had to replace it in VW ( no warranty after 2 years) and the joke was around 850 € including 1 hour manwork. I hope its not the same for you.
Good luck mate

You need to put a booster pack on the battery behind the driver seat (or the passenger seat in the UK)

Hello .... at last after a lot of effort I have took delivery of my new California last week. I'll try to keep this as short as I can, but might be useful to someone in the future. Because of Italian red tape, the van was delivered to the dealership at the beginning of April, but I only just...

Wow - Yes tried various suggestions - driving for hour or so re set time / date disconnect battery etc but still no joy

Do feel like the flat battery / jump has something to do with it - thought mbe even just a fuse
Short is I’m booked in to VW for a diagnostic - interesting to see cause / fix !

Thanks
