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

[Bob Frizzell]

Nick,
I highly recommend a snip job - that's the yellow wire I'm referring to. I
pulled every possible relay and fuse and couldn't fix the problem until I
snipped the wire.  I'll bet the control module is buggered up (too expensive
to replace).
