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

[Theodore Chen]

the yellow wire can be spliced back together later if you're so inclined.

my control module was damaged, and there was some strange behavior.
also, the express window down feature stopped working.

i replaced the J139, and got a rapid clicking when i plugged in the
replacement.  i took out the replacement module immediately to prevent
damage.  after i cut the yellow wire, all was fine.
