    Flattened the battery

    Hi Folks, While i was fitting a TM Watchdog overhead and running the wires down the A pillar i accidentally hit the cruise control on/off button [which doesn't work], not noticing the CC button was down i went in for lunch about 2 hours and come back too no radio playing, no dash lights except for the SRS light and 7-3 volts in the battery.
    The key was on acc. position for the radio.
    Charging up overnight can i expect any problems in the morning apart from the radio code.
    Thanks

    Watching with interest. I normally forget to turn my cruise off. Never had a flat battery before.

    The cc button shouldn't kill the battery.are you sure it wasn't something else like a marginal battery being drained by the radio?
    Cheers

    Marginal battery + radio = flat

    CC button at ACC is inert and even when running is just the LED
