[s-cars] Battery going dead...rear windows dont work.

[Nick Stuart]

Ya, thats the one I was talking about, and have removed currently.
Know that has been flakey for awhile and have been removing when ever
I dont need windows/turn off the car. (thank god its winter). Anyways,
my current symptoms only started after I forgot to remove that and the
battery went almost dead. (had enough to start it). Later that night
the batter completly died, which it had never done before, so I think
something else got borked up this last time, but I dont know
where/what to check now.
