hopefully just a dead battery... you should take the battery to get tested.
also.. welcome to Acurazine. you are in the 2nd Gen forums (99-03).. your 04 TL belongs in the 3rd Gen Forums(04-08).. they can probably get to the root of your problems a bit quicker then we can.

Yeah its the battery,I had the same problem,the dealer switch it out twice.....also the 04-05 TL's the navi drains the battery a whole lot quicker! Anyways brought a premium battery from Autozone and haven't had a problem since!

The dealer has checked it twice and can't find a drain when the symptoms (no outside temp and no phone icon) aren't present. It happened with a new batery and they claim to have checked both the alternator as well as all the things that draw down the current
after you shut the key off.
I haven't been able to get it to the dealer when the symptoms occur -2 hrs away.

They said they checked it. The TSB referres to 07 and 08. TSB 05-029 describes my symptoms exactly, but only apples to the 05 model. My habd free link does work, it is just the icon that disappears
