Recently my battery has run down a couple times. Once I had to boost the car, then it was fine for weeks. Then it ran down again (car wouldn't start). Lights etc. were all working. A while later I tried to start the car and it did start, though roughly. I also noticed that my daytime running lights no longer work. Does anyone know of any possible connection between these two things???

Thanks

 

I don't think there is any connection. When a battery goes belly up on a GS all kinds of starnge things begin to happen. Have your battery and charging system checked out.

 

Check your battery terminals. I believve i found the reason I had short battery life with my car. I had to replace my positive battery terminal because it was still loose even when fully tightened. Cost me 15 bucks at Pepboys installed. It was a direct bolt on with no wire splicing. Everything is good now

 

Might sound odd but did you start your car with the emergency brakes engaged? Release the emergency brakes and it will come on
