    vx having some issues

    hmm sounds like maybe both are dead? when i take the lead off the car dies, i took the battery in and they said it was fine, it drained my dads new battery within a day of having it in the car, so i think its just time to take it in and get both tested and probably replaced. thanks everyone :)
