So I bought it to an independent shop and they said.
1.) My battery is like 5 years old and is just losing its charge
2.) The battery sensor was bad, dont remember what exactly the part was. It was giving an incorrect battery reading or something like that. No matter what my battery charge was, it read it as being low on battery.
I replaced the battery and that battery sensory. My comfort access was fixed then.

You are right on with this being a possibility. A weak battery will indeed result in non-vital systems being shut down.
I was recently reading another thread about key-fob remote having a very short range. This is a Diversity Antenna issue. Now the part I am skeptical about... A couple people said their CA worked better after they changed the Diversity Antenna. I am not convinced the Diversity Antenna has anything to do with CA... but then again I continue to learn something new about these cars all the time.
