| Description of the problem | My vehicle was parked in a parking lot but when i wanted to open the door, the fob wouldn't work. The battery had been depleted and when i replaced the battery, by aaa, the dashboard lights stayed on even after i took out the keys from the ignition. This can cause the battery to die again. I have to disconnect the battery so that the light that stays on will not deplete the battery. The car shakes because the power isn't getting to the receiver very well. This is a problem inside the electric hub. At any moment my car can shut off because the electric current isn't stable when the car is on. One of the fuses or something isn't disconnecting properly, causing the dashboard lights to stay on. |
