Hey guys so i got a new battery installed about a week back and have been lagging to make this thread. So now with the new battery installed i have had this annoying beep sound like the key is inside the ignition when the door is open. Also when i get out of the car , pressing the lock button on my key will not lock the car but if i manually put key in the door and lock, the doors will lock. so i tried to replace locking system fuses and it for some strange reason dropped my passenger mirror about an inch but when i closed the door and pressed lock on key ...eureka ! it worked. So all was fine and dandy until the next day I used car and exited to lock and NOTHING . un/re plugged fuses and worked once again. Not Sure what to make of this. any ideas?

When you installed the battery did you make sure the terminals are tightened down?

 

[Fox Fader]

Take the battery back where you got it and have it tested.

yes im sure they are fine but i will re-tighten them later. The battery seems to be fine with a multimeter? or do i really have to take it back?

Could have an internal short. They will load test it. Shouldn't have to take it out.

Maybe replacing battery makes things go back to factory default?
Maybe you had to replace battery because there was a problem with the car

Check Fuse 67.

Replaced fuse 67. As well as other fuses for central locking system. still nothing:banghead:

I was thinking this at first but why would it make the key not respond so i think most likely not. As a precaution , when i receive my 1.4 scanner, i will see if there if anything i can do to fix this problem.

okay this is the standard test they do at autozone correct ?

So removed and reconnected terminals an still have the issue.

Where in SoCal are you? I'm curious to see this car of yours and try and figure out what's wrong with it. I'm in Torrance which is about 17 south of downtown Los Angeles.

Take the battery back to the store and have the store test the battery. Bad batteries can pass the factory's QA. In reality, there are only 3 or 4 battery manufacturers in the US.

Yes.
