When I stored my car everyting electrical worked. We then had a worm spell here in Michigan and I got the itch to drive, but the car wouldn't start due to the battery being low. I proceeded to charge the battery and let it sit intil the next good day. Well that day came and some of the electronic gizmos did not want to work; turn signals, head light bezel motors. insterment pannel lights. The tail lights, front marker lights and curticy lights all worked, and all the instermentation gauges and engine ran great. It didn't stop me from taking the car out for a vary quick ride but I can not seem to figure out what happend. Any ideas?

...I installed a Battery disconnect switch to the Ground cable in the front trunk. Everytime I get home from a drive, the first thing I do is disconnect the battery. The next time I need to start Her up, the Battery is always 'Fresh'. Because the Alternator is always ON and draining the charge, this is the most convenient way to stop the 'Discharge'. The disconnect switch is also a great theft deterent. Your other problems; I side with Husker, check and clean ALL your Grounds! Last; if your Battery is more than 4-5 Years old, it's about time for a new one. And get the most CCA's that you can fit into it's home. Thats 'Cold Cranking Amps'...
