Anyway, got the circuit energized, disabled the alarm, popped the hood and replaced the battery.

Changing the battery is great reason to stand in the trunk!

Suggestion
During the winter, if not driving for extended periods, I go out to the garage weekly and use the remote to unlock/lock the car and see if the battery maintainer light goes on.

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.

Okay, okay, it was a bit of a candy *** task ... but it felt good to do it myself. Replaced a dead battery! Battery minder died over the winter with the car locked and hood locked. Of course I squeezed the car into the corner of the garage for the winter, so there wasn't much room to get the emergency power post for the trunk release. Anyway, got the circuit energized, disabled the alarm, popped the hood and replaced the battery. (the new one is an Interstate in case in anyone is curious)
Might try an oil change myself next!
Congratulations, your one up on me. During the winter, if not driving for extended periods, I go out to the garage weekly and use the remote to unlock/lock the car and see if the battery maintainer light goes on. If the light goes on I feel relatively secure that the car is still on trickle charge.
Good luck with the oil change!
Lots of good information here and on the link below in my signature.
Just to clarify, DIY battery change is +10 points each. PDDI (pay dealer to do it) is an automatic -10 points and paying over $200 for that service gets a BONUS -40 points for stupidity. The -50 points multiplied by the "gender adjustment factor" for not doing it as a DIY equals -50 girly-man points. So I can validate Phil's reported score.
Me too !...changed out the Cabs battery last week, I think I have a draw at the lighter.
Major man-ness going on.
