Sounds like a battery/charging system (alternator) issue to me. Get a red-top to replace if it's the battery.

I'm guessing a battery problem for sure.

yeah, and when the battery starts to go, you will deal with a multitude of issues if the charging system can't keep up. it's not a big deal, you'll be back in operation for a small fee. take your batt to autozone, they will test it for free, and they can test the charging system as well.

Autozone will do all they can, including hooking the diags up. Bring it there before you get stealershipped. Unless you're still under warranty. Mine gave out at 36k and I'm at 38k now...

Our S197's are very particular of what lower limit voltage they "like".
