Did you try to start the car with the wing down? You can also go to an autoparts store and have them check the battery. You want to see close to 13 volts with engine off. Mine usually shows 12.9 - 13.2 If you see 12.0 volts you need a battery. I also wonder if you have a bad brake light switch? Jiggling the brake make any difference?
