Hello Marty

How are you doing? As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you remove the negative battery connector of the car and let it sit for 5 minutes before reconnecting it. This will reset the system and can get it back to it's normal operating state. Hope this helps, I'll be standing by for your response.

Thank you

Relly
