Dear sirs,

how can I trouble shoot this problem(s).
I noticed that the air condition compressor did not shut off and began to freeze up the condensor. Then my battery began to drain. I pulled the battery cable off, the next morning the turn signals/emergency flashers/and the brake lights have stopped working. I replaced the flasher but that did'nt help.

By disconnecting the battery u triggered the alarm system
and you have to disable it
if u don’t have the clicker to do so
try locking and unlocking the door using the key
if that did not work
disconnect the battery , place key in the ignition and turn it to ON
reconnect the battery
and start that should take care of it
good luck

need manual CHECK IT @
