Yes, I would say this is an indication of a weak battery. Do you know how old it is?

I had all the doors closed every time I tried. What manual? The owners manual? I have been following various procedures I found on the internet.

i must be doing something wrong. i had all doors closed, removed key and re-inserted it as required, had the date showing, cleared the trip odometer. it still ain't resetting the oil service indicator though.
