My battery died. 2019 AutoLite, I think made by Autozone or Advance auto.
Typically with a full battery, when I press the start button, the starter turns about 4-5 times to get the engine running.. This time, it turned 3 times and stopped. I tried again, it turned twice and stopped. Tried again, it turned once, tried again, it didn't turn at all. Got a jumper cable and started the car. When I got the engine started with the jumper cable, there was a fault signal about stability control , that disappeared on its own.
Off to NTB and now I have a new battery. Drove the car home and noticed the clock and odometer were incorrect (made me think the NTB tech didn't put one of those battery "bridge" devices to keep the clock and ODO happy). As I pulled into the garage, I turned OFF the light switch, and my headlights and DRL's are on with the engine running. It used to be that when I turned the light switch OFF, the headlight turn off but DRLs stay lit (unless I had the handbrake engaged) Pushed the ignition OFF, and all the lights went out. And an error signal came on the dash "Fault: Vehicle lighting". Turned the ignition on, and all the lights came on again despite the light switch off. Grabbed the VCDS to try and clear the fault codes, plugged the RossTech Hex-Can VCDS Interface and the plug would not light up. Computer says the USB port isn't plugged in. It is. There just no LED on at the interface
Cigarette lighter works. Radio is fine. How did my VCDS interface stop working? Fuse #5 which is 5 amp behind the storage bin under dash is not blown
