I found it, thanks guys. I felt like a idiot when I brought the guy from the security desk out with the charger and had to go back inside to google where it was. I gotta reinstall my seat because I took it out, because I was told it was under a seat. :thumbsdown:
I left the halos on.

Ya know, we have all these computers, sensors, power control modules, a car that 'sleeps' after a certain time, yada yada...how come the damn thing will allow something to drain the battery to depletion? Hell, my old Altima would at least turn off the headlights after 15 minutes if they were forgotten - and that was in a car with manual headlight controls. Go figure.....

And I'm sorry but SOMEONE has to ask this: Under your seat??? How small did you think your car's battery was for heaven's sake??
