Moree Disaster

Finally arrived at our overnight stop after a 5 hour stranding, and not even on the side of the road, right in the middle of the Newel highway.
Story goes like this;
Cruising down the highway toward Moree and pulled up at a roadworks red light. Sitting for a while so chose to put into park. Car immediately shut off altogether and went dead. Would not start, would not recognise key fob, doors would not unlock etc etc. then the traffic took off without us. 😂😂😂
We were now a new obstacle for the traffic controllers to detour traffic around. Now comes the exciting part.
In these sort of situations, disconnect battery, wait 1 minute and reconnect, any car should reset computers and away you go. Hahaha, battery in the trunk and tailgate only opens electrically and is still locked. 🤣🤣😆
3 hours later NRMA arrives, car on bed and caravan behind, off to the caravan park. Drops us on site and then the fix commenced.
After rearranging rear drawers through back doors and getting to below the spare tire, got battery terminal off, 1 minute and back on, full reset and all ok.
First thing tomorrow find a new battery. More to come.
