Well, first of all, "battery checks" means NOTHING to me. If the battery is old, replace the damn thing. PERIOD. Or......... read thru the posts here and you will see the HELL a "tests good" battery has caused people. Why will people NOT LISTEN when we tell them this? And what is old? Four years is old to me -I have NO idea what you or the previous owner has done - ever leave lights on and drain the battery? Do you sit in parking lots listening to the radio with hte engine off a lot? etc...


The key in the door REALLY throws me off, too. But you are there, with the car - I am not!


But I AM on vacation, so I'm off here for the day...
