Post flat battery probs

Hope ye all ahid a good Xmas and heres to the New Year.
I know, I only seem to post when thers a prob.
I am not technical so appologies.
I have a new mystery
Bloody Range Rovers.
Battery went flat yesterday
Happened a few times after leaving camera on and no using it for anfew days
Anyways, jump start, no probs.
Noticed interior lights not coming on.
Manually or when open door.
Key fob not locking/unlocking
Except for the tailgate, biz as usual ther.
Central locking switch inside not working.
Everything else seems to be working and only since flat battery.
I have unhooked battery and left ivernight to zap everything to no avail.
Still same.
Any ideas?

Regards

Has the battery been fully charged since ?? as some of the systems will only work when there is enough charge in the battery

(I stand to be corrected) Regards

Maybe worthwhile checking fuses once you refit battery...mines doesn't like being jump started and has blown a fuse doing so..it was my interior lights as well..

What are you using to show that ??

a decent drag tool should be able to disable transport mode, and then everything should work again after finding this http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic28713.html Regards

Update
Well no really much further forward.
Plugged my thingy in and can see/identify the transportation mode but I cant alter it.
My mechanic guy with 'snap on' gadgets couldnt even see the fault or message.
One thing we did do to eliminate things is chaeck all fuses are 100%
What next?
Things like this only happen to me when its raining, cold, bank holidays NEVER when suns oot Big Cry

Scratch head time I guess😢 Made in Scotland frae 'Girders'

Are you sure the battery is good ?

Halfords or Euro Car Parts will test it for you. AA or RAC would probably also do it.

Random meaningless error messages are a classic sign of a duff battery, so that's the first thing to eliminate - be 100% sure the battery is good.

the symptoms you describe do indicate that it's in transport mode. Plenty of people on the net with similar in the past.

you will need someone with something like autologic, or a LR specialist with diagnostics for the RR, or even IIDTool Regards
