IMHO, it also sucks that there is no voltage gauge, (or oil pressure)

What puzzle me is the light stay's on that's why the first thing in my mind was that. It's a year old battery (thank god it's warrantied for 72 months) I noticed in the past that after I got out of it and alarm it, within less than 10 seconds it turns off. I had the final resistor replace by the stealer about a year ago. I guess i'll plug the connector back and see what happens.
