you should 4 real calm down and open your mind to the fact that maybe your car does some stuff you dont understand, even when you turn it off
as there is no reservoir for magic in the car, and the manual kinda skipped over than part, I will prefer to stick to science and experience. first off, it the car was really trying to warn you of something, it would have to be in the manual otherwise, no body would have a clue what the hell the car is trying to warn them of. second, I get that being a member for less than a month, you really dont know yet who the members are that absolutely with out a doubt know more about every single system in this car than you do, so let me save you a lot of time, Joe is one of those guys.
i agree with the person who said it is also a 'symptom'
so wait, you seem to be confused, which is it? a symptom or a feature? it cant be both
it baffled me until i finally bought a battery about a yr before i needed to.
the reason that you are baffled, is because you dont understand how electronics work, dont worry, its not the important part of the story, the important part, is that you didn't replace your battery a year early, you replaced it a little too late, even you agreed that it was a symptom, well you cant have a symptom with out a problem. interesting enough that the problem was solved by replacing a battery an entire year before it needed to be replaced.
lets just say we are all on crack, and this is actually a feature that was designed into the system by the engineers, why would it tell you that the battery needs to be replaced an entire year before it needed to be replaced??? because your full of it, and just resorting to making stories up. however I will be in the need for more stories in the following weeks as the new season of Dallas is now over.
youve never heard of it bc its a pretty tough feature to sell on a spec sheet.
now your just high, if that was a feature, it would be the easiest feature to sell!
customer: how do i know when it is time to change the battery?
salesman: the car will tell you.
customer: oh thats good to know, makes me all warm and fuzzy
it is not because "the alarm will start going of randomly at night about a year or so before it needs to be replaced..."
on a side note, can you please tell me which university you got your engineering degree from? I just want to know what diploma mill I should cut a check to so that I can just buy a PHD, gaining knowledge the other way is just too damn hard...
in the end, it is much more valuable to our members who start threads seeking help if we stick to facts and keep the asshattery to a minimum, and dont bullsh!t up answers for them.
