problem #1

Sep 152004

Alero 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 69,950 miles
I noticed my car would honk anywhere from 2-4 xs when I used my remote to lock it. One day, after using my remote, the car honked 3xs, when I came back later to start it, the car would not start, my battery had been drained. While contemplating what ot do, the lights flickered on and off erratically (over 20 minute period, when the keys were not in the ignition. Further, all the gauges were moving erratically at the same time, there were several people who thought this is what was causing my battery to drain. I took the car 2 places to have it looked at, they agreed it was an electrical malfunction. I have noticed that the lights will come on for no reason, and stay on for various periods of time.
