Guys~

I got my new saga flx 1.3 manual a month plus ago..
this evening around 6pm when I wanna go out for dinner, this problem occurred.

I approached the car, pressing the remote buttons to unlock the car. To my surprise, the car won't unlock at all..
I tried to press the panic alarm button, no sound.
tried again to press the lock/unlock button, no sound, no response.

Then i used the key to open the driver's door. Put the key inside. The car tripmeter lights up, but showing no numbers. Other icons got lights also.. So it seems very normal.. But then when i tried to twist the key, the car simply won't start.

So I suspected that i might have a drained battery..
Then i went to check my headlights switch.. it was in the OFF position, check Aircon switch, also off position..
So it's impossible for me to leave the headlights on overnight.
And in fact I was able to start the car when i drove out for breakfast and lunch earlier today!
That time no such problem at all.. pretty weird..
instead, this is what i get.

the dashboard lights keep blinking. When i open the engine hood, there was some "tak tak tak" sound keep repeating.

Frustrated, I called up the proton i-care number. After complaining my problems to them, Proton sent a guy in his orange persona with "Proton i-care 24 hour assist" painted on it about 1 hour later.

The mechanic/agent/whoever he is jump started my car.. let the engine runs for about 15 minutes.. turn the key off and tried to start again without the cables.
And it works.. He off the engine again.. Tried to start my car as normal.. still the engine cranks and started behaving normally.

So he suspected the battery problem.. He said that my battery manufactured date was on april 2011. But accordingly he said battery life should last for 10000-20000km or 2 years at most..

He then ask me to try start the car again tmr morning.. If the car unable to start.. He'll change the battery for me..

Right now.. I'm not too sure what might have cause the battery to be drained...
