Thread: Battery Dead - Now What?

It was an Interstate MTP78 - 85 month warranty - 1000 cranking amps. Installed on Friday - re-indexed the windows as directed by the Forum members - and life is good again. Didn't even lose my radio presets - but I did need to reset the clock. THANKS to everyone for their assistance.

Wait before pressing the Panic Button, NMR. When the battery in The Doophus was replaced (only about 2.5 years old), nothing special was required. All functions and memory items were ready and waiting. GOOD LUCK!
