Help -- my wife's 2015 Smart ForTwo ED was sitting unused for 2 months during COVID-19, and wasn't plugged in during that time.
She went to charge it with our garage charging station and the dashboard says "malfunction". We tried plugging in the wall charger and it says "Charge HV Battery Now" and the icon on the dash changes to show that it's plugged in, but it doesn't do the normal animation that shows it's charging.
Did we brick the HV battery by accident? Any way to diagnose? The only Mercedes dealer that will even look at the Smart car is super far away; it sucks that Mercedes doesn't like to support their own cars.
Would love some advice here.
