So far it has had a new brain, 2 new batteries, new battery cables and lately a new alternator and sparkplugs. The Rear Light Failure message lights up when you turn the key in the ignition, sometimes the car cranks, sometimes it just clicks and will not turn over. Obviously something is draining the system, but the dealer is at a loss to figure out what. Any ideas? The first thing to do is figure out which circuit is causing the drain. Connect an ammeter in servies with the battery (with ingition off). Measure the drain. Start pulling fuses until the drain stops. This tells you which circuit has the fault on it. -- Grunff
