Default Electrical Issues

I have a 2004 Discovery...
About three weeks ago the battery "WENT DEAD".
I jumped it off and the next day I threw Gear Box lights, ABS LIghts, and check engine lights...
Truck acted like it was in LOW and would hardly move...
Turned truck off...Everything fine...
Next day battery kind of drug but started fine...
Few starts later Throw Gear Box lights again...
Restart seven or eight times and everything is fine...
A couple of days later...
Unlock truck with remote..get in ...turn key and set off alarm...
Now this is happening every three or for starts....

Any ideas...do I have an upset Rover?

You have a bad battery, go to the dealer and get it replaced and you'll be fine.

MIke,
Thanks!
I figured that was it but I wanted to make sure before I dropped the money on one....

Thanks again!

I am not sure who Rover uses now to make their batteries but I went thru 2 replacements while under warranty, then changed out to dual batteries 4 years ago and have been fine ever since.

Well I went ot Advanced Auto Parts and bought the battery the book called for there, which was aTitanium 25.
The truck had a Delphi 24 in it.
Changing the battery seems to have fixed it right up.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the A/C to read in F again as it seesm to have reverted back to the default C.
But that is a minor issue.

Thanks again Mike.

Dustin,
Not sure why you bought a new battery, Rover would have warrantied it.
Asa for the Temp readings, hold the power and recirculation butto in at the same time till it changes.
