As for that light in the center console, I replaced it with an LED a long time ago which I believe it ended up burning out. I will check it anyway because at this point I've tried almost everything but that. I will keep updating info
I had the same problems you're having, which is why I've mentioned to others on the forum to not assume you have a good battery just because they placed it on the charger and said it was good. After replacing my alternator, they put in a new battery for me. It never held a good charge, just like your battery did. Luckily I never went as low as 11.2, more like 11.6 to 11.8. I finally broke down after about 9 months of this and put a new O'Reilly AGM in the car and problem solved. Glad you finally figured out the cause. Electrical problems can be so frustrating in these cars
