Anyways fast forward to this morning. My car died twice in the last week and at first I thought it was the cold which drained by battery. But after driving it only last night since the last time it died and having it die this morning I think it might be the battery itself. I got a jump start but I noticed after the jump that my central locking system was not functioning normally. I cant unlock or lock the car from the center button like I used to before it died this morning. Moreover, when I try to use the key remote to unlock it, I hear the car struggling to unlock it, but to no avail. I suspect a fuse may have blown out somewhere, but I haven't checked yet.
Any ideas?
I have a feeling this car may have a greater electrical problem but its too vague or too large for me to find a noteworthy google search.
