Just purchased a beautiful 1999 FRC C5. The car, which was purchased from the original owner, only had 1275 original miles on it. Shortly after picking the car up, the six year old factory installed battery went dead. During attempts to get the car started both of the headlight doors popped up. We jump started the car drove it the Chevorlet Dealer and purchased an orginal equipment battery. After installing the battery the car started up immediately and although the headlights worked, the headlight doors would not go back down. We manually closed the doors and turned the headlights on to see if they would pop up. No such luck, at this point I have to manually open the doors to use the head lights.
One other problem was found after the battery failed. None of the dash lights or the lights on the arm rest will work when the headlights are turned on. However, when you pull the key is pulled out of the ignition, all of the lights come on.
Since both of these problems occurred at the exactly time, I suspect the two are related. I have already checked the fuses, but wonder if we burned up a relay when we were trying to get the car started or installing the new battery. Any suggestions on what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
