Re: Battery Loss of Charge

Bought a new battery and it was drained of its power and would only hold a charge temporarily. Took it to a dealer and they determined that there was a loss of power through the radio fuse and they removed the fuse.
Dealer told me I would need a new radio ($800). I got in the car, started it and found the radio worked fine. Mechanic told me he removed the fuse to the radio. No explanation of what caused the problem. How could the problem arise when the car had been sitting for 2.5 months?
Drove home and found that I am unable to lock the doors with the remote. The lites blink, but the doors will not lock. I can lock the passenger side by hand, but don't want to lock the driver side because I could not unlock the doors then.
I have filled out two evaluations for the dealer without a response.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Gerry
Strange as it may seem but the key will manually open the drivers door.
Was the car sitting outside or inside? Water may have entered the trunk and got down the well where the security module sits and flooded it. If this is ruined then the air pump that operates the locks will not function. Can you hear hissing or any noise when you operate the lock/unlock buttons on the fob?
Report back which fuse was removed, most dealers know squat.
