Won't start + orange light on dash

[MarkMchugh]

The cars been stud for about 4 months with a flat battery, charged it up today and put it back in but now it won't start up , it turns over but didn't start but all so got the warning light on, can someone shed some light on it,
No smart arsed remarks plz and many thanks

It's an electrial fault of some sort.

All the battery wires on ok?

 

[JB21]

I thought that light was an ignition fault, try pulling the leads off and making sure they're clean.

Electrical fault light. Check usual suspects in fuse box under the bonnet.

 

[MarkMchugh]

Ok thanks guys

 

[Chris_Beer]

Yep. If it's been sat for a while check the plugs and leads, could of got water in and corroded etc. Start with them and go from there, don't start pulling everything apart, rule it all out separately.

If not as bloke said, Fusebox issues maybe

Don't panic.
Very probably a lack of continuity for the 12v supply to the ECU, from the small black relay with the thin white wire to pin on the ECU, due to green snot disease.
Piggy back it will get you running.
I`ll provide better details & pics tomorrow.
Cost is a bit of solder, a few cable ties & a little bit of insulating tape.

Thanks for the advice guys I'll try it all

sounds like a relay/connection on the box.
