Title: car freaking out
Post by: Yuri on February 18, 2008, 12:18:00 PM

ok, so when i parked it to go to school... i left the parking lights on by accident.. drained the battery... when i get someone to give me a jump start... the headlights start freaking out and going up and down constantly.. even when the switch is off... and the beep is going off that the keys are in the ignition.. which they weren't.. any ideas?

Did it continue to do so after they were done jumping your car?  If not then I wouldn't worry about it.  If it still does it after you got it jumped, I'd say that you fried something electrical big time.

The main fuse is bolted in from the bottom.
