Just yesterday my wipers started on their own. They would start then stop. The stalk still has all its functions. Then the radio would cut in and out. It would work for long periods, then flicker on and off. Now the blower fan comes on and off and when this happens the center portion indicating temp and fan speed would be blank, then come back on.

After work, I started the car and now the entire HVAC controls seem to have no power. When the lights are on their is now backlighting and the radio is completely dead. Wipers still have a mind of their own!


Disconnected battery. Nothing. all fuses intact. All relays operate properly.

Anybody else have problems with this? Any ideas?

 

What year is your car and how old is your battery?

 

2003 S with 127,000 miles. Stock battery

 

new battery fixed it. Now the car is overheating. just changed waterpump and thermostat two weeks ago. grrrrrrrrr

 

Back to the drawing board. overheating solved.(bad relay) Now car wont start. nothing. seems to have power, everything works. But ignition does not do anything. yesterday i was able to cycle the key back and forth and get it to start. Today...nothing.

Any insite would be greatly appreciated!

 

Did you get this problem fixed? If so was it the ignition switch?

I am now experiencing similar problems with my wipers, HVAC, radio and airbag indicator light. I have seen some people state that the ignition switch is the problem. But here you say that you replaced the battery and everything was ok. Just looking to find the best solution for the best price.
