Hello all,

this page has helped me immensely with my 2000 x5 4.4 and i thank you all for that.

Today i was driving and out of the blue the dsc/abs/brake lights all came on. I have read through some posts about it and i see a few potential problems that would need to be handled by the dealer.

recently, (about 2 months ago) the alternator died on me and i had it replaced.

who thinks changing the battery would be a good idea? i am just hoping to avoid a trip to the dealer. how likely is it that a battery that is showing no other signs of wear could be the culprit? this is a 2000 x5, i dont know if/when the battery was replaced

i tried the lock to lock thing, no dice. when i restart the truck it the lights are off, they come on after driving for a while


thanks for your help!!
