Battery replaced, Carly registered it, and now I feel better for all the little electrons running around within the zed4.
I also placed a plastic bag around the CT hyd motor, so if water does get inside the trunk, the motor will stay dry. I looked for any previous stains, rust, etc... all looked good.
We inherit the risk when we purchase these cars, and we all know... every car has its problems, but cruising down the highway with the top down... kind of makes it worth while.

Tx for the encouragement. I'll try to see if I can fit in there and if a bag is feasible; I've tried to put rags to soak up water. My battery's still newish. I won't be buying any code reader though as I have all my work done at techs. Unfortunately, I'm just a layman in this area, so even if someone shows me a bunch of wires, etc, I can't make heads or tails of it. I do appreciate any and all practical advice though.
