    Hello guys

    Wondering if anyone can shed some light on an issue.

    488 Spider

    Car sat for about 2 weeks. Started a few times not driven(weather). Was on the factory Ferrari tender.

    *Car won't honor key fobs, nor does the car even go into accessory with the start button on the steering wheel or the emergency start button.
    *New batteries in fobs.
    *New battery in car (just in case)
    *Main fuses on top of battery all good.
    *When key is inserted into the center tunnel location for emergency start, still inactive.
    Headlights work, taillights, frunk opens, top retracts, windows drop down with manual key in the door.
    *OBD port works, but only connects with one or two modules.
    *The cluster will display 488 and Ferrari logo when the door is opened. But then nothing else.


    Any direction or ideas I can check out?

    Have you tried disconnecting the battery for awhile and doing a reset? Thgat sometimes cures a few problems, essentially rebooting the car. Just a guess. Crazy that a car should even be doing this.

    I will give it another try this evening.
    But it didn't work the first time. It is craziness.
