Something causing battery to go dead, now when.

IF YOU SNATCH THE BATTERY COMPLETELY OUT

HAVE IT FULLY TESTED AT A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE (USUALLY A FREE SERVICE) SEE 1ST PIC

RECHARGE OR REPLACE WHICHEVER IT NEEDS----THEN REINSTALL IT (NOT CHARGE IT INSTALLED)

THIS MAY "STOP" A COMPUTER GLITCH (MAY STOP THE LIGHT-SWITCH CRANKING--I DON'T KNOW) BUT REGARDLESS THIS NEED TO BE DONE ANYWAY, IT MAY COST YOU NOTHING!

AS FAR AS YOUR MYSTERY BATTERY DRAIN (ALSO MAYBE RELATED TO THE CRANKING ISSUE)
