Hello Edward Garcia,
Indeed yes... you have a 2004 Manufacturer
RECALL CAMPAIN... Notice SC-04-002
FIRST technical Service Bulletin I looked at...
ETACS-ECU Excessive battery drain...
Gives the location and required
>> dealer RE-programming of keys & fobs...
Principally presents on cars left sitting for 7 to 10 days
((they were talking "NEW" cars... I imagine those dynamics change SIGNIFICANTLY with old batteries))...
Attributed to POOR PROGRAMMING...
REMEDY: replacement
Location.. lower dash... between steering wheel & door
Use the FREE TSB database ... provided by
BBB Industries...

Check the connecter of you battery. There's a good chance your battery connecters are loose, or another problem with your battery connecters.
