Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Keeping in mind I'm not the definitive source here (numerous others on this forum know lots more about these cars than I do), but I've replaced batteries a few times on my '01 (bought in 2006) and have had no issues.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 2Original post

Keeping in mind I'm not the definitive source here (numerous others on this forum know lots more about these cars than I do), but I've replaced batteries a few times on my '01 (bought in 2006) and have had no issues. Everything pretty much resets itself in my experience. You might wanna have your radio code available to reset it, but other than that it's been straight-forward for me..
