I come out to my car today and its dead!!! Totaly no juice! Looked like the battery died...

So i get it jump started and it jump starts ok, but something is wrong, the emergency lights stay on and will not turn off, when i try to turn them off they just start blinking fast and the alarm sounds, i left the car on with em lighs on andthe alarm goes off every 10 minites or so. When i press "check" it sycles through all the working symbols wich does not happen at the regular time.

Before jump starting, i've disconnected the battery and cleaned the leads, the battery was disconnneted for about 15 minutes - did it reset the ECU? Does it now need to reprogammed?

I hope something did not die, i've had this car for only three days... maybe its just battery?

Any sugestions before i take it to the stealer tomorrow?

 

i dont think u need ur ecu reprogrammed. but as far as the lights and alarm going off not a clue

 

does it drive okay, because if not it could be the immobilizer

 

i did not realy try to drive it, just backed off my driveway and then back, seemed ok though, but battery dies again, after the jump start all the same again....

i wonder if its some kind of security thing if the battery was disconnected...

so, what will happen when i drive and it is an immobilizer? how do i fix?

 

Looks like it was just a bad battery, after replacing the battery, looks like it took the ECU a little to re-initialixe or what not, all the warning lights and the immobilizer problems slowly went away. Now its all back to normal. An it looks like my MPG improved!!!

Thanks all.

I do have another problem, this one i had since i bought the car. the washers (both windshield and headlights) don't work. I pull on the handle, the wipers activate but no water....

 

fill the fluid tank?

 

it may be dirty try compressed air and see if you can hear any leaks or listen to see if the motor spins, they can go easy

 

I don't here the motor at all... am i pretty much screwed here, do i need a new motor? Is it one motor for both winshield and headlights?
Can this be DIY job (replacing the motor that is)?

Thanks,

 

Problem solved - blown fuse, replaced with 30a.
