We've had dead battery problems the past couple months. The battery is not that old (Jan 2010), but it's been dead often for my wife. A quick charge of the battery gets it going again for a week or more and then it's dead again. She said sometimes when she's shut it off, the blue high-beam indicator stays lit, even though the car is turned off. She said the headlights are not actually on. I've never seen this happen.
Then today, it wouldn't start for her, so I put the battery charger on it again (it has a super-duper start the car feature on it) and tried to start it. It started right up, but it immediately revs way up like I have it floored, though my foot is not on the pedal. I remember reading somewhere that this car doesn't have a throttle cable, but it's a motor or something that actually operates the throttle?
Right now, I'm cleaning the battery terminals (again) and have them disconnected for 1/2 hour or so to 'reset' the computer?
Every time I start it now, it iimmediately revs way up and I'm not sure what to do.(boom06)
