Hi, I've been lurking and I think this is the place to ask about my boyfriend's car. This car has major electrical problems. First the sunroof went out and then the passive restraint seatbelts. We suspect that one or the other is responsible for the constant battery drain we've been experiencing. We've installed a battery disconnect, which helps some. However we are still having problems and it is SUCH A PAIN to lift the hood and disconnect the battery every time we stop the car (even just to get gas/petrol)!!! We asked the mechanic if it were possible to remove the fuses for the seatbelts or the sunroof and he said no, but didn't have a good reason and I'm not confident he knew what he was talking about. The car is great in every other respect so I hope we can get this thing road-worthy again. Thanks for any ideas, -Charlotte
