    My new battery was dead this morning so I just had it jumped thinking I left
    the lights on accidently last night. The car is idling in the driveway right
    now but the "Trac" and "ABS" lights are lit on the dashboard. I pushed the
    "Trac Off" button to see if that would reset it but it didn't. Perhaps
    everything will reset itself when the car is shut off and restarted but I
    can't chance it right now; need the battery charged for (What? A half hour
    or so?). Any clues?

    Check for voltage in the system, because ABS shutdown when voltage to low.

    Thanks, Ralf. I apparently left the blinkers on overnight 'cause the parking
    lights came on every time I connected my battery charger. I suspected
    something more involved when I couldn't stop the lights in any switch
    position (I left the charger on for only a few seconds each time for fear I
    was gonna' blow something out; it was making an unusal sound... so I
    thought.) In any event, I drove the car to a mechanic friend who checked out
    the voltage and found the car to be charging just fine. Finally shut it off
    then restarted and everything has been working properly since.
