SAGA: Battery died. Called AAA. AAA said it would not take a charge and replaced it with a new one. The new battery died two weeks later. Called AAA again. AAA said I now have a drain on the battery. Brought the car to my mechanic. My mechanic said the new battery wouldn't take a charge and I needed a new one (hmm, sounds familiar). AAA, under warranty, replaced the battery. Playing the waiting game....

Last night, I noticed the ignition ring light (green) would not shut off (car left unattended for hours). It would shut off if I locked the car. Could this be a source of the drain? What other electronics are on this circuit?

To add to my problems, the SRS-AIRBAG warning is now on. Mechanic charged $75 to tell me its a faulty warning but he could not reset it...that I had to go to the dearler to reset the thing at $150...is that my only option?

thanks for your help. jd
