I'm assuming a new battery will fix the issues though, because even though they are different, they seem related, or maybe its just wishful thinking on my part.
1) Preset radio channel switches to another channel every few seconds. This has been happening for the past month.
2) 'light out' warning light is on intermittently. When I check the lights, the side makers on the drivers side are on, but half the brightness of the side markers on the passenger side. No lights are burnt out. When I turn the car off and back on, the warning light goes out for 5 minutes or so and comes back on. Light came on for the first time yesterday.
3) Engine shuddered and stalled but caught itself and continued running normally while sitting at a red light. This happened yesterday. Never did this before.
I'll update this weekend after a new battery.
Well, let's hope it is the battery...sure seems to be a voltage or amperage problem....That studder could be the early stages of a CPS problem...time will tell...
