Dr. Hagerty:
it's me Dr. Loot, I was wondering if you could help me with the problem I'm having with my 750IL, the battery keeps going dead and I think I know what the problem is but I'm not sure, I remember your post but I cannot find it, when you turned the ignition on my telephone makes a loud buzz, I'm wondering if that malfunction of that system could be draining my battery? the car was hit hard on the right side mostly undercarriage damage they broke the oil pan and bent the lower control arm, there is no engine light on and the car runs like a jet, the trunk lights are not coming on I don't know if that is the issue Also ? I'm having a hard time resetting the automatic trunk release, I don't know if that's causing the battery drain too? I wish I could fix his car if you have any ideas please let me know.

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner, yesterday was my birthday and I was delighted to make it to 53. Send me a PM with a phone# and we can chat about your 750IL.
