    Just installed a new auxiliary battery but the warning light keep flashing when the car is off (not while driving). Does this indicate there's still an issue, or does the light need to be re-set for some reason? We called the AAA guy who put the new battery but he says he's never seen this before. Any ideas?

    “Warning light” doesn’t exist on this vehicle.

    Sounds like the immobilizer light. It should flash when the car is off to let you know its working.
