battery was weak due to loose neg cable end. boosted the car and my radio wouldn't work(no power) and power top refused to work and the tpms would not read. so I pulled the radio fuse and radio rebooted. re indexed the windows and my top started to work. reset the tpms and now my traction control switch wroks properly again. TC would only go to off or on, no completion mode and no ability to shut off tc and anti sway, until tpms was working properly. keep all of this in mind if this happens to you. change the cable end so that the connection to the neg post is good and all is just fine now. thought I would relate my experience for others.

Batteries and their condition on these cars are just so critical. Sorry to hear of your issues but it seems you have most of them figured out.
I think there is even a torque specification for the battery connections.
Thanks for sharing the experience Shayne in getting it sorted out.

When buying a battery for these cars, get the highest cold cranking amp rated one that you can buy. It will save you possible grief down the road too. If storing your car for any length of time, hook up a battery tender to keep the battery fully charged as well.
