READ OWNERS MANUAL ON REPROGRAMMING WINDOWS

First make sure all of the doors, hood, trunk, etc are closed. Turn the key to position 1Press system select button(lower left buttons on the steering wheel) that looks like sheets of paper until you see mileage reading or temperature displayed. Press the brightness button on the lower left instrument cluster 3 times. You should hear a signal and see voltage on the display.Turn the key to position 2Press the lower scroll forward/back button(steering left arrows)). You should see "service indicator" on the screenPress the Brightness button again once. You should see oil type on the screen.Select the oil grade you used by pressing the + & - buttons on the upper right on the steering wheel. Press the scroll forward/backward button to confirm. Confirm oil reset, press R(brightness button on lower left on cluster) for 3 seconds should appear on the display. Service confirmed should appear on the display. Press the upper forward/backward button & "service indicator" appears on the display. Press the upper system select button(lower left steering wheel button on left) The display should go back to basic mileage or temperature. If all else fails. I believe the shortcut I took as a tech was, turn the key to the first position, scroll until you see the temperature or mileage displayed. Turn the key off, push in the brightness button and HOLD it while turning the key to the 2nd position. You should see something like do you want to reset service? press R(brightness) button for 3 seconds and it should reset. Good luck. The newer cars are worse.

the switches are usually on the brake pedal easy job to do bit awkward to get to as you need to be made from rubber lol just a clip and a wire to remove when replacing push the brake pedal in and pull the conecting switch out and it will ajust its self when you let go of the pedal hope this makes sence cheers ivan

Check the owner's manual to find out what needs to be done BEFORE you disconnect the battery. Then follow those instructions before you disconnect the ground wire. Leave it unhooked for at least 15 seconds then carefully reconnect it. Sometimes "rebooting" the system solves problems like this.

Check trunk light, glove box light, underhood light-make sure they're all off.Here's a test you could try. Take the bulb out of the under hood light, and leave hood open. Turn off the car and lock it as you usually do. Wait about 20-30 minutes, so the computer goes to sleep. Now take off the negative battery terminal, and put a test light between the negative cable end and the negative battery post. If you have an unintended draw on the battery, the test light should be brightly lit. If it is, start pulling fuses one at a time until the light goes off. The circuit for the fuse that turned off the light when pulled is the problem. Figure out what all is on that circuit to check out what is staying on.I should add that if the test light is very dim, that may not be the problem, because the keep-alive memory for the computers, the radio pre-sets, and the clock would all draw a tiny amount of electricity-not enough to drain a battery if working right, and only measured in milliamps.

You need it in a shop to find out whyThe new battery won't last long like thatThe car has to be checked for parasiticcurrent drainsMost likely some module is not going to sleep whenyou get out & close the doors
