i drove it for 15 min and i'm still running the engine in front of my house.

everything's fine but last problem.
the button on the handle of trunk lid doesn't work. i have to push the trunk-open butten in front, or remote control key.
i don't know what is going on..... god.. another problem comes up...
Running your engine like that is not going to accomplish anything; everything you've been experiencing and working on has nothing to do with the engine. If anything, idling the engine for extended periods of time is bad for it, so turn it off. All those DSC/ABS/etc lights are related to the vehicle's motion, so they go off only after driving the vehicle.

Where did you mount the back-up camera? Depending on where you were working, it's possible you simply disconnected the wiring or broke a wire to the release button.

my x is in a good shape.
 
now everything's good.
Installing OEM backup camera was just replacing the handle of trunk lid.
the button is rounded and much smaller than the original one.
if license plate lights are working, the button should work right??

it's different wiring to the license plate and trunk release button, but in the same bundle and part of the same connector.

i think the reason he was running the engine was to recharge his battery

next time after jump start,
if you get DSC warning light comes on, then just turn your steering wheel fully in each direction to reset warning light
