Default Leaving lights on after shut off yields dead battery :(

Third time I have done this. I need to install a buzzer.

Soo... I am gonna leave it sit for "an hour." Shake the battery, too.

Maybe, just maybe, that will give it enough juice to start ?

Hmm, wondering why you had your lights on in the daytime, or maybe you didnt.... But I digress.

Jump start the car and start from there.

Just make a mental check-list every time you get out of the car...... pretty soon it'll come automatically. Like a quick check-list of (lights off? Check / Alarm on? Check / Remember to call my on-line girlfriend? Check).

It'll become 2nd nature.
