Battery died- jumped battery started car- service light started blinking-
Blinks when I start the car and continues to blink-
I used the reset directions 4-1-5-1 with #7 connection - the service light stops blinking but remains on- Then when I turn car inigtion off from Number II position and restart the car- the light starts blinking again-
Puzzled and bewildered-740gt

    Jumping the car with too much voltage will cause all kinds of problems. The Service light is not programmed to blink, so there is a short or burned wire somewhere.
    You are lucky the ECU is not fried. Check all of the fuses. You might have burned a wire at the alternator or ignition switch.

      Thanks for the response- the cas runs ok--except the battery does not hold a charge-jmm I will take a closer look- Recently had the iginition switch replaced because the electrical was acting weird-seemed to have fixed it-or maybe not-jmm

        Check the output from the alternator, it should be around 14.5V If your battery is over 5 years old, have that checked also. When it is dark, check the glovebox light and trunk light are off.

        A blinking service light, priceless!!
