Will It Start?

Most likely not. I put my 2006 Salara rag top in storage in a closed garage back in September in New Jersey. Here it is May & I am still in Florida & now wondering about my beloved convertable? I did put plenty of gas preservative in the tank so maybe that will help. I'm sure the battery is dead. In any event I will just buy a new one rather than fool around trying to charge it up. By the way, it says in the owners manual if you store your car for a long period to leave the headlight switch on auto. Any comments here? I'll be leaving Florida on June 5th on Am Tracks auto train. Wish me well. Coal Miner.

is says "off" not on. the auto function is always "live" and will
run the battery down over time. page 119 yspert

Thanksfor the input. I'll check my manual about leaving the auto headlight switch on or off. I don't have the manual with me - its back in Jersey but will re-read 119 thanks coal miner still in florida
