Daughters DII had a low battery, just clicking when I tried to start it. Put the charger on it and charged the batt, went to open the door and got a fast click from the lock area, now its not responding to the fob to open at all. When i did get it open it would not start, thinking it might be the imob was triggered so I tried to do the key in door trick but the lock cylinder feels like its been messed with, key doesn't catch and it just turns freely. Now i can't get into it at all and it's supposed to be sat the shop tomorrow. If I can't get it started, I can't get it out of park so I can't get it on the rollback to get it to the shop to get the brakes worked on. Getting pretty frustrated, any ideas?:banghead:

Got it open, some weird stuff going on. Lots of fast clicking from under the dash, under the hood and the side markers appear to be shorting. Will not start and head lights not coming on, interior lights get dim almost right away some this looks like something electrical gone wrong. Any of this sound familiar? I'm baffled.

Put the charger back on it this morning, thinking the batt was still too low and that was causing the weirdness, hoping I was just over thinking it last night.

yes, all normal. The rapid clicking, honking, lights flash, etc. It happens when you let a battery die and then try to start the vehicle. Basically puts the car in to a POS mode and nothing can happen until you get a charge. After a charge it will return to normal without having to do anything special.
