DSC help!

Ok so today I went out to the 8 for the first time in a week. To my dismay, the batteries were dead because the cabin lights were left on. I charged the batteries and then started it and thought everything was normal but when I went int othe car, the "DSC off" light flashed on and off and the skidding light (when you lose traction) stayed on. I turned off the car and started it again but the "dsc off" light was still flashing and the skidding light was still on. Does anyone know what happend here?

StealthTL said it better (and way before) than I could've.

I'm in too good a mood to even flame you for not searching.

It's in the manual .. you should have just looked up DSC Light.

Turn wheel all the way left, all the way right, turn off car, turn back on.

I'm not so much in a good mood............Jeez, ever hear of a manual?
Ever hear of the search button?
Take some initiative for once in awhile. What no manual, then go download it at www.Mazdausa.com in the owners section.
