    Its the 2nd sentence of post #1...
    You think its due to low battery voltage as well?

    So ive charged the battery and have been driving the car on a daily basis to work and back for about 2 weeks now. I unplug the white cable from the battery when i park it overnight. So far i havent had any problems starting the car so does that eliminate the bad battery issue or no?

    That beeping sound could still be a problem. Do you open the door before you shut the car off?

    It has come on in both cases. But i do believe it only comes on when the battery is discharged as an indicator.

    check the battery voltage in the morning at the jump point under the hood, before opening the drivers door.

    Which, I assume, includes planning ahead by unlatching the hood the night before and remembering to leave your keys inside the house and out of range of the car. My brake system pumps up if I even get close to the car.
