I just bought a 1999 Sephia for my teenage sons. The dealer installed a new battery before I took posession. It sat in the garage for about a week when I noticed that the battery was dead. After a lot of testing, I found that if you remove BOTH of the brake / stop light fuses (one under the hood, the other under the dash) there was no current drain. OR if you remove BOTH of the ECM fuses under the dash, there was no current drain.
I also noticed that the shift-lock mechinism was not working at all. Under normal conditions you need to apply the brake in order to put the car in gear (automatic transmission).
Other than the shift-lock and battery drain, everything seems to work correctly.
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
