I'm seeing something similar recently. After parking for few hours, I have to crank it longer to
get it started (like turn the key and hold it for a while before it starts). Pretty sure the
battery is going.
Since last month, I had the other problem where the child window lock switch(in the driver window
panel) came on permanently. The folks at the back can't operate the window unless it is kept pressed
from the driver window. This light stays on for a while after the car is turned off and locked.
Don't know if this is causing the battery drain, or the battery is actually nearing end of
life(am at 55K miles, 4 years)? What is the average battery life for the OEM ones?

Yeah I should get a new one. May because the CA weather doesn't swing to extremes,
it lasted this long.
But I've been pretty pleased with it while it lasted. Have parked it away for a month or two,
it always started, never had to jump start or anything.

Today I ran the heater after quite a few months. And found it is
busted as well, blows only cold air even after running for 15-20
minutes at a setting of 75F.
Could these be related? Didn't find anything in the forums to
suggest so though.
