The car wouldn't start again today, I checked for the red dot in the Battery and that appears to be the problem. The dealership said they would come and tow it to there shop load test the battery and check for anything that could cause a voltage draw then replace the battery if needed. I hope thats all there is to it. Never, ever, ever, hook the ground cable to the battery when jumping a car , I've heard that before now the question is why ?....could it be H2.

Hello all, I have been a avid reader of this forum for some time and don't recall seeing this topic so please forgive if it is a repeat. I tried to start my FFH after it setting for ~ two weeks and found that everything was dead no headlights, dashlights, door chimes, nothing so I concluded that the battery was dead and not being familiar with jump starting a hybrid I checked the manual to make sure I minimized any mistakes. I used a jumper box and connected the positive lead to the battery and the negative to what I thought would be a good ground, one of the bolts/nuts on the strut tower and observed much arcing when I tried to connect so decided to just hook it to the battery. When I did that all the lights came on and the car started right up with no problems, I disconnected the jumper box and within a minute the engine shut off and the car went into electric mode, I thought I would have to jump the car again however everything was normal, I turned the car off and it started right back up as if the battery had already charged. any thoughts ?

http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/autowingandspoilerking/ Price including shipping was $118.00 and the quality is as good as OE. Took about 30 mins. to install and 15 of that was gathering the nerve to drill the holes. Bob.

I installed a spoiler bought off ebay painted tri-coat white (matched perfectly) just gave them the paint code UG and recieved it a few days later. I used the supplied template however found out after drilling the holes (nothing like drilling holes in a new car) that there are two holes in the under side of the trunk lid that matched the new spoiler so no template was needed. The spoiler looks like a 2010 factory spoiler and the wieght is equal to a can of soda maybe two, so as far as needing to change the struts to hold the trunk lid up I haven't had any problems nor do I think that amount of wieght would affect my fuel milage although the wind drag might, it has been on for approximattly two months and I have seen no noticeable change. I lke the looks although I thought it looked nice without the spoiler I just wanted something a little different then most of the others. The only down side I have found so far is that there is more car to clean. Bob
