hi,
battery died on 1995 Q45.New battery installed. Panel lights remain on (not check engine but the rest). tried to pinpoint cause -when meter fuse is pulled, they remain off but so does power steering and power window. is there a reset procedure after a battery is replaced? or any other guesses? thanks so much!
patty :cry:

alternator is worn out and in need of replacing- do it now before it kills your new battery.

Alternator was checked and it is fine, strangely enough. hubby called infiniti today -they want $129 for a reset procedure.
I wish someone on here knew what it would be! Thanks1

NO SUCH THING as a "reset procedure" on this car- NONE dealer is not being honest with you. Have alternator checked elsewhere by a professional.
