Weird Electrical Issues????HELP
It first started as me not being able to control my windows from the drivers side all the other buttons worked ( passenger and the two rear). Along with that came the issue of not being able to close or open the doors via Remote key I had to do it manually. Then came the death of my battery which I thought was right on time being it winter and all. I did go ahead and replace the battery and it seemed like it was fine (not the windows or remote) so I turned it on couple times to verify this and left it off since about 8am. Was going to go check out the window and remote issues at an Indy tomorrow, so tonight I decide I'll go for a drive tonight get in push start sure enough dead car. I am baffled as to what is up with the car did try to jump it again with my buddies car and it does not want to start. I have a couple of lights working in the car and the radio. Anyway have any clue as to what is going on or am I just SOL?

Have you measured your battery voltage
Some times new batteries don't come fully charged.
I would put it on a slow charge charger and leave it for a number of hours if you find the voltage is low. If you have comfort access the batterys in your fobs could be low to. Did you have your new battery registered? If you haven't been going for any highway drives or have let the car set you haven't put a charge on the battery. Also if you leave your car unlocked and have the fob somewhere near the car it won't go into sleep mode and will deplete the batttery. These cars don't act the same when they have a low battery as the cars that aren't filled with 10 board s worth or microprocessors and electronics. |

Got it started finally today again took it to the indy shop I usually take it for problems like this got there they changed the battery to a bigger one bosch, programmed the car to the battery get turns on fine etc etc turn it on couple times its fine. leave the car off for about 20 mins get in try to turn it on nothing see 2 lights which are the airbag and the brake light but nothing else the only way to get it started again is to unhook the battery and try again now anyone have any ideas as what it might be is my key being registered as a not valid or something? something is stopping the car from turning on mayb some kind of security implications? ANYONE with similar Problems please chime in really could use some help!!
