    This vehicle has been sitting on my property for a 18 months(it belongs to someone else). It was being regularly started until 6 months ago. I have finally stepped in and I am trying to get it to a shop.

    The 12v battery was bad and I have changed that. The accessories won't come on though.
    My big goal right now is to see if I can drive it to a shop(towing from my location will be pricey).

    I reset the service needed light, but it came right back on. It is plausible to me the 240V battery has died(or jsut has a low charge).

    I did get into diagnostics

    1. Did you mess with the orange plug on the HV battery?
    2. Did you try sticking the key fob into the key slot? Fob battery could be dead
    3. Are there any lights on the dash that will turn on? Does the radio work?
    4. What is the service needed light? If that's reset, it should not come back on for 5000 miles
