redtomatoman Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I believe that larryl is referring to the engine battery. Check it or change it. That may be the problem as these cars are quite sensitive to voltage. Sounds like you have potentially identified the issue: the alarm/panic system. Doubt the fob battery was causative. Report back when you figure it out. These electronic gremlins may require the dealer service center... Good luck. Peace. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 start by a load test on the car battery (part stores offer this for free have them check the alt at the same time) then i would remove the fuse for the alarm system and no i dont know which one that is, to see if this solves your problem. can be a lot of different things good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeze Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Whoops..... it has a new battery in the fob and the car....... and yet it did it again this morning....... I am stumped..... I pulled the fuse for the power locks so hopefully that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Preface: I'm not a mechanic. Use a volt meter to check the ground on your battery to ensure it's good. Honestly, I'm not sure where the DJ battery is grounded, but any resistance in ground can cause some electrical issues. Clean the terminals if they need it. If all that stuff is good, the next cheap thing to do is replace the battery cables. Is there any pattern or triggers that you can identify? Peace.
