Maybe thats why my light never came on when I reconnected (FIRST) the positive clamp and then the neg clamp. This was the second time this battery was out of the car and neither times did the light come on (so no 'reset' was needed). Is it the procedure that prevented it from happening on my battery jobs, or was it some sort of modification done to later year model cars. I go for thinking it was the procedure and not a mod to later year models. Just a thought!
You always disconnect the negative post first on these cars, I have never had the siren sound during this process. The siren may go off when something is wrong, I guess I have been lucky.

The BAS/ESP light comes on but what the heck, I can deal with that.
