    About 2 weeks ago someone caught my attention at a stoplight and told I had no tail lights. When I check I had no tail lights, no signal lights, and no hazard lights - only break lights.
    The alarm system had been coming on at its will before that. Within a week my car would not turn off when I pressed the button. Then while driving in the city this week I glanced down and I was going 120 MPH - NOT!
    Tonight it finally gave up the ghost.
    12V battery dead?
    I called wrecker and can’t tow unless car is in neutral. I can’t get in rear of car to battery with no electrical.
    Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

    welcome!
    use the mechanical key inside the fob to open the driver door. pop the hood and hook up a charger or jump to the jump point under the hood.

    if it isn't the 12v, maybe it is the combo meter
