I am getting the impression that purchasing a new battery is the answer to turning off the BAS/ESP light. Is that correct?
Help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the response. The info on page 143 is that which ZERACER posted in post #3. Have you tried that?; turning the wheel lock to lock?? Did you click on the red link in my post #2. It runs the gambit of ESP/BAS problems and solutions and yes a good battery is very important when trying to remedy problems on our cars. If your cars battery is near or beyond three years old then replace it with a good quality new one. If the shop isn't using a DRB III scan tool then they are not using the Chrysler tool designed for the job. Any other scanner should be set not for a Chrysler, but a 2003 SLK 320 when scanning your car. The Crossfire was built in Germany and is basically a Mercedes 2003 SLK 320 with a skin designed by Chrysler. That may help you get going in the right direction. Replacing the anti lock brake and the ESP unit under the hood is an easy job. I recently changed one in under a hour with an inexpensive used replacement bought on ebay. I hope that is not necessary, but it might come to that, PLEASE read the link I provided in my first response. It will help you.
You said the cruise control works, yes? Like yesterday you drove the car, activated the cruise control and it worked fine? It may seem like a weird question, but it is important.
