    Thank you! But I just read this too late (2023.12.18). Out of warranty now. Symptoms still happen from time to time.

    Texas Hybrid Batteries can help if you can DIY the remove and replace. This is the best way forward for this problem now.

    Just hold the button down it'll turn off when you open the door if you don't have the open door icon go back and adjust the ground till it comes on yep right there under the headlight on the right side and then go open the door see the icon you'll have a display when you start or ready the car Yes it may be time for the display to have the three capacitors dealt with.
