[QUOTE="ricklack, post: 20607, member: 2162"] I would suggest having the battery load tested. It is 5 years old or more if you have not replaced it. Seems average life for batteries these days is 3 or 4 years. Lots of unusual electrical issues are caused by a bad battery. Random codes, things not working randomly, etc. Checking output voltage is not going to reveal an issue, you need it load tested. Most parts stores can do this for you. TBH, if I was in your shoes I would just replace the battery if it is the OEM- if it isn't causing problems now, it is likely about to. There is a lot of discussion about this around the net - check Costco if you are a member and near one - they have good quality at a good price. If you have AGM you can save a hundred or so. I looked at Costco online yesterday and found $289.99 CAD. That would be about $215 USD. Probably a bit cheaper in the warehouse. [/QUOTE]
