Avg. miles resetting
Hi, I got my car back 2 days ago and since I got it back, everytime I shut the car off, all of the averages reset. I have a new Optima Yellow Top battery, but it is in the rear. I was just wondering if anything could be done to stop it from resetting. The battery is not weak or dead, as the car starts with no problem.

Your voltage is dropping low some how for that to happen. You have a high resistance connection somewher. Recheck, clean and tighten all of the connections that have been made to get the battery in the back. I bet if you check, more than just your fuel averages are resetting. If you have a HUD, I bet it is resetting back to the initial screen and your trip meters go to zero.

Ooohhhhhhhh Yea!! You absolutly MUST have the smaller chassis grounds!!!!!!! If they are missing, I would say that is a real posibility of being the problem!!
