I turned over my car and my car started as usual. The My radio made a funny sound and I noticed the following dashboard lights came on: Parking Brake Indicator, TCS, SRS Supplemental Restraint System, and VSA Activation. I drove 45mins home. 1 hour later I went to the store and car drove fine, but the dashboard lights would come on for 5-10 mins the turn off, then back on again. The next morning my battery was dead. The battery will not hold a charge. Car will start if we use jumper cables. Battery is also only 2 years old. Anyone know what the issue could be? Also, I live in OHIO and for the past 2 weeks it has been -5 degrees, not sure if the weather being cold would have any affect or not.

Thanks,
Nick

Obvious things that come to mind are bad alternator or a bad ground. It could be the battery too but to me, it sounds more like something in the alternator or a bad ground because usually when a battery goes, the car is completely fine one day and then the next day it wont start.

Sounds like a bad connection. Check both ends of the battery cables. Autozone, Advance, etc. can test the system for you.

PS: The 03 Accords did not have VSA, only traction control.
