I drove my car to a restaurant to pick up food. I come back in 5 min
and my car refuses to start back. When i switch my igntion it just
makes a whining sound and nothing happens. The Battery seems to be ok ,
as all lamps and indicators are working fine. I also found that the
audio system got reset as i was trying to start the car. I removed all
the key from the ignition and the lights were still on. My remote
locking was not working any more.

I had wait for a tow guy for a about an hr and the battery went down in
the meantime.

What can be the possible causes of this problem.

The dealer today said it was a low battery, but when the car initially
was not starting i had all the light and electricals on.

Would this cause the Audio system to get reset and require the code to
reentered again.

Any advive or any past similar experience is appreciated.

Thanks
Collin

Sounds typical of low battery-audio system reset and remote locking are
the clues-you had all lights and electrical s until you tried to start
vehicle-correct

In a way that is right.. but i am worndering that the battery got
drained in just about 5 min that it was not able to start. if it was
even as longer as 15 mins maybe. Earlier in the day, i had started the
car after almost 3 days and it started up fine without any twitching..
so was wondering if it was some other problem. The dealer has  replaced
the battery and everything seems to be fine now..

Sounds like you may have some plates shorted in the battery.
