So my battery died the other day.. I get a jump and now all is fine ...

BUT--

my map (interior) light and lights on my vanity mirrors now don't work??

check the fuse--it's fine.. the interior trunk light still works and is on the same circuit.. OK, I'll check the bulbs.. but they are fine!

anyone know of maybe any other fuse or something to check?

everything else electronics wise is working and fine on the car and it was working before the battery died..

My radio stopped working the other day and I checked the fuse in the kick panel and it was fine...but then I checked the fuse panel near the battery and sure enough one was dead there..did you check the fuses in the engine bay?

 

I didn't check any there.. I'll take a look.. thanks

All my fuses are fine...

So OK my battery died again tonight.. Time for a new battery I guess...It's still sorta dead as it sits now.. BUT the interior light and mirror light strangely works again WTF?

Hrm, what do you think killed the battery? Powerful stereo?

 

Naw.. I do have some electronics but nothing with major wattage (no amps anyway)...

I live in the Northeast.. It's one of those lightweight Optimas and my car has been mostly sitting in the frigggggid garage the past weeks.. I don't think the battery has enough cold cranking amps after weeks of barely driving it.. every now and then i try and start the car and warm it up but maybe that's a lost cause haha..
