what makes you say the battery is good? what does this mean in a measurable sense? please quantify.

my suggestion would be to charge up the battery and measure the voltage...both at rest, as well as under cranking load

in addition, provide the year of your car as well as the key design it uses. these are important details

no, you should never assume the health of the car battery based simply on the operation of a light.

you still need to identify the type of key you're using, please. post a photo
