The battery on my 850 keeps going dead and I have to jump it its a good battery and the altenator is working perfectly, I also have a noise on the front driver side when i turn to the right its a thumping noise (wheel baring?), the dash lights on the left side are out (easy way to take out and replace?), also shift light is out(easy way to take out and replace?), (are they expensive at the dealer?) all your help is greatly appreciated ive only had this car for a short time but I love it already!

    Your trunk light is probably switched on, just lower the center armrest and look through the pass door to see if it is lit up. Otherwise, the glovebox light may be on.

    That could be a CV joint that is gone and needs to be checked.

    Check out this site, lots of helpful hints:

    The instrument bulbs can be bought at an auto parts store for half the price Vs a dealer. The shift light is about $14 at the dealer, ouch. Same bulb as the ashtray.
    The switch bulbs are replaceable and can be bought at Autozone Lighting Technologies #2721 or at Radio Shack Micro Lamp #7219.

    Have fun!
    Ps, a good 24 hour trickle charger on the car battery would be a good thing.
