SYMPTOMS:
1. Brake lamp warning light on dash, only outermost taillights seems to be working others at least very dim, light on spoiler very bright as if brakes being applied.
2. Side marker lights very dim with headlights on, headlights off normal brightness.
3. Radio antenna goes up and down randomly and slowly regardless of radio status.
4. Radio display blinking off and on in sync to turn signal.
probably some others I'm forgetting.....
RECENT HISTORY:
Battery was dead wed. evening after I got home, car had been sitting for 5 days. I jumped it using the fuse box as advised in the owners manual. After got it running realized I left the interior lights on when I was removing the cell phone last week. Let it idle while I washed it and got gas to recharge the battery, probably an hour or so total. On the drive home from the gas station was when I started to notice the problems.
Any thoughts? Could I have screwed something up removing the cell phone or is it more likely a result of running the battery down? A short? I have no idea, all I know is everything seemed to be working fine prior to this. I'll probably end up going to the dealer but just wanted to hear if it might be something simple first. Thanks for your help.
