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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello all, Went out to the car this morning to find a dead battery. The car has been sitting for about a week. I hooked up the charger and noticed that the little yellow light, (orientation light) and the lights on the switches to the trunk and engine compartment lid are on all the time. I haven't had the car that long but never noticed it before. Are these supposed to be on? Any ideas? TIA Tom

POST 2Original post

Sounds like the battery may have blown a cell. I have read on other boards where the battery colapses if left to drain and it can cause all sorts of weird electrical problems....dash lights flickering, windows going up and down, coutesy lights coming and and so on.....probably driving the computer crazy with spurious voltage fluctuations. Can you try another battery...jump leads maybe?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Scouser I'll give it a try. It's odd though because I've now been running the charger all day so I'm sure the battery's got plenty of juice...
