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)

HERE'S SOME INFO TO HELP YOU WITH THAT
