NEED HELP PLEASE !!! Car won't move

My friend has an 06 SL65. Sat in the garage for a while with no charger on it.

Went to start it tonight and the comfort feature light came one. The Keyless Go won't work and the car will not move when it goes into gear. There is a Green light flashing the trunk also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Weird, but I know the green light in the trunk is always flashing.. so that' probably doesnt have anything to do with it.

have you tried giving it some gas? Its possible the brake pads have somewhat fused with the rotors and won't let the car move without a little throttle.

You can't let those cars just sit for a long extended period of time or else they will start doing crazy things. These cars have a mind of thier own.

That's actually not a bad idea. Sometimes the brakes have a tendency to "lock up" and need to be broken loose. As for the keyless not working, the battery is probably low and your convenience features will not work until the battery gets a better charge (ie: let it run for a while to charge the battery). I would make sure the car is in whatever gear to move it out of the garage and give it a little gas to see if the brakes have just locked up, of course make sure there is nothing in the way for him to run in to.
