Hey guys, I have a 2005 S430. I've been dealing with a battery draw for a little while now. I pulled the battery and tried to charge it for 24 hrs, and never got over 12 volts, so I replaced the battery (this was about 1-2 weeks ago). Today I went to start my car and it's completely dead again. No lights on the dash or anything.
That being said, I have two messages coming up on my screen before the drain. One is an Airmatic warning (which the previous owner told me that sometimes you just need to bump the cable a little to fix that), but another and more persistent issue is an error I'm getting that says something along the lines of SOS Malfunction - Drive to workshop and is attached to a light in front of my rearview mirror.
My question is, can this SOS issue be draining my battery and if so, how would I fix that? Thanks!
