Well the battery is dead again. It's not holding a charge anymore. This is the 3rd time i left the lights. So I guess I killed it. I got a new one.

I had to jump the car before heading to sears to pick up a new batt. So instead of calling AAA again I used my jumper. This time it worked! What I did was wait till the glow plug cycle was through and then I cranked and it fired right up. Im no expert obviously but I guess the glow plugs ate too much power off the jumper so once they shut off, there was enough to start the car. This wont work on cold days :)

Now I gotta fix the buzzer. Ill look up a how to. I remember that when I first purchased the car, the buzzer worked. Now its gone. The interior light use to come on too when I opened the door. Now it doesn't light up. Probably related?

Maybe, check the door switch for any obvious problem.

If I remember correctly, there is a little aluminum box that plugs into a wired receptacle, under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Around the parking brake. Maybe yours came loose or unplugged. If yours went bad, you can probably get one cheap at a junk yard or from someone with a parts car.

Also, are you sure your alternator is charging OK? You should have it tested where you got the battery.
