Default ok, here's the deal, and its driving me nuts. Cant find the problem...

evrytime i start the car, the EPC, CEL and Airbag lights comes on, then goes away right away! And so does the battery!

I replaced the battery at least 11 times in the past 3 weeks with all sorts of brands, and NOTHING SEEMS TO STOP THE LIGHT FROM COMING ON!

I am searching for a new car now. This is horrendous. WHAT IN THE WORLD?

Hmmm, sounds almost normal, like when all the other lights light up then it cranks and they go away?

IMO that is normal then, most all cars display all "dummy" lights prior to starting
