Perhaps a flat battery?

That's weird, I've never heard of that before. Go take it to your dealership

I think you will find that chances are because you have pulled your car to pieces... It may need to be re programmed.

I've been told that the initial cause is a flat battery, but it will need to be programmed by the sounds of your problem, and the dealer will hit you for it.

I know on earlier CJ Lancer's the instrument cluster actually says something more like batter is running low or something along those lines unless it is something more serious!
I have replaced mine once or twice but mine always says 'Battery running low' and I also own a 2008 CJ Lancer VRX!

If the cars apart you may have unplugged one of the antennas for the keyless.
