[DML] Odd electrical Behavior (go figure)

[Phil Priestley <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This morning I decided to drive the D and when I went to the garage  
and turned the key I realized the battery was dead with barely enough  
power to light the dash lights although the door markers lights were  
fine. As soon as I turned the key the Tach needle shot up to a little  
over the 5k rpm mark and has stayed there even though the key is off.  
I turned the key on and off a couple times and the needle stayed put.  
What Gives?

I'm not sure what caused the battery to drain over the last week but  
it was probably low to begin with so I will get a new one this  
weekend. The only things that I know of that would be drawing power  
with the key off would be the clock, the stereo and the Lockzilla  
remote receiver. I know that all the lights (trunk, engine  
compartment, glove box and cabin) are functioning properly and are  
not staying on.
