Hello, I have just connected my battery, which is weak, the chimes keep on going when the doors are shut and the key is out, is this because of a weak battery? I am currently trickle charging the battery.

Hi, Most likely the chimes going off are due to the low battery voltage. I recommend the you disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery, then charge your battery. I suggest this as I do not know what type of battery charger you are using, as some battery chargers can damage the vehicle electronics.
After the basttery is completely charge, reconnect it and you should be good to go.

Many thankslwill try that. Do you know if the 2000s had a problem with electrical short? The battery is a year old from Sears (diehard) and per theirshop Iis in great condition but the battery goes flat after 2 days all lights are off. I ran the car for 45mins and it didnt charge the battery and theIignition light did come on while running.
Many thanks Christian.
