I had just driven my Honda to the store and when I got back in and tried to start it back up, all the dash board lights started blinking and clicking and the car was totally dead. I got out and saw that the flood light was on so I got in and turned it off. Then all the dash lights blinked again and the car tried to start but it was dead again. I finally got the battery charged and the car started but the Maintenance light is on. I have driven it since then with no obvious problems other than the Maintenence light being on. Any ideas??

    The Flood Light may have really drained your Battery, or your battery is getting old. A battery typically lasts 48 months. The Flood Light puts and extra load on it though.
