Get it checked, before you end up like me... stranded!! No Joke! I noticed a few other funny things going on at the sametime, but the only one I can remember off hand was with my sunroof. When I would turn the car off, the roof would close, right? Well after it would close, it would open again. Then close, then stop about half open. I just stood there watching it open and close thinking to myself, "Too bad I am not Catholic." Taking the advice of a fellow CEGer, which I thought was crazy at the time(I was new, cut me some slack!), I got my battery checked and it failed the stress test. You know when they put a load on it or whatever. I did not have the money at the time to replace it, so I just let it ride until payday. Two days later and 5 days before payday, I was calling my wife asking her to bring a bootser to a place that I could not even explain to her how to get to. AFter the battery replacment, all was fine.

If the battery checks good, then just search for the number of threads about this and you will find what you are looking for. There was one pretty recent actually.
