My 2005 S Conv has just started going a little crazy after the last wash/wax. My radio volume and radio steering wheel controls along with the turn signals fail to work as intermitent times but when one is out, they all are. Other items work fine. I replaced OEM battery but it still does it and I did notice the brake lights turn on and stay on when i turn off the car? The ECM is dry as a bone too?? Alternator maybe?

I did remove the passenger seat for new stiching and my airbag light is on but I think that is another issue.

 

Ground clip? I had a ground clip come off of an old car when I was in college. Most hilarious car repair story in my history of cars. The headlight switch would turn on my turn signals. Signals would start the wipers. ALL wonky. I called my dad and he giggled at me and told me to check the clip. Alas, it had worn and broken. Cost me about $1.50 to fix it at the most.

Trust me, I'm no mechanic. But that might be it.

 

Thank you!!, Any reference where this ground clip may be?

 

Hello, well I have FOUND My PROBLEM that may help others as well. I went through the fuses, all ok, dried out engine in the sun, all ok. I found out it was the aftermarket CD Changer and cable in the trunk causing the short. I would suggest check all your connnections, grounds etc. Spray with some contact cleaner the aftermarket connections you have added
