racer d ....I did end up needing a new battery.

My car is an '04 which I bought as a "leftover" in late '05 when the new '06's were coming in, and the dealership wanted to move it off the lot. Hence, I bet the battery probably discharged while sitting there all that time waiting for me to come along. I keep it on a battery tender during the winter.

Anyway, I jumped the battery and took it to the dealer to be load tested and to have my charging system checked out since I wasn't sure what killed the battery. I did not remove the battery so as to preserve the trouble codes.

They took my car right in and withing a few hours it was all set to go with everything reset. But the $311 charge really shocked me!! That is the most expensive battery replacement I have ever incurred. LOL
