dead battery? i know the delco battery is supposed to be a huge piece but have you guys ever heard of one dying because of having your hazards on? i was parked out front of an office with my hazrds on for like 45min (no parking spots) i go to start the car ive got nothing then i cant even get the key out. i jump the car fires right up but now i have a service charging system and service air bag light and warning to go along with my already service tire system thats been on forever. this should be all covered under my extended right? and if i do bring it into the dealer i should take out the tune? cai isnt a big deal though correct? any help is much a appreciated.

Yes, it is normal for all kind of warning lights to come on when the voltage level is not normal or stable. Unfortunate, but normal none the less. Could be your pick of lights, airbag today, SES tomorrow. Get your charging system back functional (even if it is just the battery) and your lights should go back out. Except for the one where there really is a problem which you said was the tire service one. Who knows, maybe it will go out also.

The basics of the system is the buss calls out to the modules at vehicle start-up, and the modules are supposed to respond back that they are awake. When this doesn't happen a "check" light comes on.
There are several cars here (including mine) that had lights on from too low of power to start modules at time of ignition, triggering lights. My new battery cleared one of them. Thinking the airbag was the early warning that my battery was about to fail.
