    hey guys I got a 2000 ferrari 360.. It died in battery didn’t drive it for few weeks I have a ctek on it charging .. I had to move the car and it wasn’t fully charged but started and moved it ... noticed it wouldn’t and didn’t want to rev over 1200rpm.. sounded semi like **** to .. :(.. and the brakes wouldn’t engage like normal .. few error lights to airbag .. then check engine light popped up now ... i didn’t switch the car off in the trunk .. my problem is i have to work out what’s going on more with the revs and brakes cause I have to drive it down a massive steep car park slope and with brakes that are working 20% I will end up crashing into a wall not Really a ferrari guru still learning any info would be great cheers guys

    How old is your battery ? More than a few years just replace it and do a careful reset per instructions in the 360 section

    The Ctek isn't mean to "re"-charge a drained battery. It's a maintainer. Don't be surprised if the battery is still weak after letting it on the Ctek. Batteries are cheap, get a new one if it doesn't hold a charge. Many many gremlins are attributed to weak or dead 360/430 batteries, stuff you wouldn't normally associate with a battery.

    Turn off the master power switch in the front trunk, replace battery, turn on the switch, go for a long drive. The long drive part is just to bring a smile...

    Note: if you turn off the power switch you will have to re-enter the code for the radio. Make sure you have the code card among your manuals. As a fail safe, "lil Daz" in the UK can get you the code on the 360/430 forum.
