Consumer Description

AFTER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE, THE COOLING FANS WOULD ENGAGE. THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN FOR 15-20 MINS REGARDLESS OF ENGINE TEMP OR RUN TIME. THIS WAS THE FIRST INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START DUE TO LACK OF POWER FROM BATTERY. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK RUN ON SYSTEM THAT SHOWED THAT MOST PARTS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD SOME TYPE OF ERROR OR ANOTHER. I REPLACED THE BATTERY DUE TO A BAD CELL AND RE-RAN DIAGNOSTIC. SHOWS THAT THE COMPUTER WAS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY WHICH WAS TRIPPING THE REST OF THE ERROR MESSAGES. WOULD THIS BE A FACTORY DEFECT FOR THE COMPUTER?
