1. My car does *not* have daytime running lights. (Maybe it was delivered with daytime to the original owner, but if so, the circuitry has been altered. If I rotate the light switch, the headlights *do* go out.)
2. As I said in my first post, the battery punchouts were never removed so I don't know how old the existing battery is. Yesterday I tested all the cells and one of them is weak (even though the Autozone "parking lot" test made it seem as if the battery was fine) so i'm guessing that this weak cell, plus using the key position "on" is what did it.
3. Cheapest solution looks to be a new battery, so that's what i'm doing next.
