A little more detail is needed to diagnose your battery issue, let's set aside your testing at this time. Do you have the original battery (White/opaque case) which is a Varta? When was the battery changed, if it's not a Varta? Anytime the Crossfires sit idle for a period of time, it's good to buy a battery tender and hook it up to maintain the battery strength, costs about $30.


One issue with any car with advanced electronics, is they are sensitive to any variance in lower voltage. The security system could be a culprit, in using the voltage?
