I just had battery replacement. There is a problem come along. The head light is blinking weakly (it suppose to be on) when I push the remote to unlock the car. It is also made some strange noise until I start the car. This problem is gone and comes back again if I park the car for a while.

    Thanks.
    As I mention in the detail of the question, the head light is blinking weakly while it's suppose to be on when I unlocked the door with remote. It also made a strange noise until I start the car. This problem is gone and come back again if the car is parked for a while (like overnight). I think it might be a problem with BCM. Do I need it fixed?
