Ironically, the car recently started to exhibit the illuminated start stop button issue that’s associated with the “Battery Discharged”warning and the EDC malfunction message.

I may go the route of purchasing a new one from FCP Euro and take advantage of the lifetime warranty as EDC module is a known issue and I plan on keeping the car for some time. Maybe the dealer will be kind and give me a bit of a break.
Thanks. Yes this is totally basic.

Why buy an EDC module for $822.96 with a lifetime warranty, when you could buy one on ebay for anywhere from $70-$140 depending on what's available when you're looking? Is their failure rate that bad? You could buy 6 more and have cash for beer left over before hitting $822.96 (assume they'll ship that for free).
