  • Wierd electrical problems

    Well I just got home from school today and drove my car. My alarm has been going alittle crazy so I disconnected the sensor in the trunk and it has seemed to solve that problem. Now sometimes my interior lights stay on and start to fade in and out. Also I noticed that everyone once in a while my "mileage trip" thing near the odometer will reset. Nothing happens to the radio so its not a power surge through the whole car. I'm really perplexed by these problems...any suggestions?

        (5/16/2003)Now things are getting even wierder. My alarm went off for no reason and i've had the shock sensor disconnected for awhile now b/c it used to go off a few minutes after I armed the alarm. My horn sounds different when I lock the car (It doesn't sound as loud and it only beeps 1 time). The courtesy lights stay on for like 5 minutes after I get lock the car.

        (5/17/2003) I went to NAPA today to pick up some seafoam and as soon as I turned into the car parking light my ABS INOP light went on along with my BRAKE light. Then the car just died and wouldn't start. Nothing worked electrically, no lights, no keyless entry..nothing. I went in NAPA and the guy came out and check all the fuses and tested the battery and said it was fine. He tightened the battery and the car started up again...ok I thought it was a loose battery. Then I locked the car with the keyless entry and went in to buy seafoam. When I came out it did the same thing and wouldn't start to I disconnected the battery and it worked again. I drove it home, armed the alarm and it worked fine...nothing seems to be wrong now. Would the Body Control Module going bad have these effects?

          Check and see if any of the connection on the battery is loose.

            I retightened everything and that seemed to stop the engine from dying but the courtesy lights still stay on for like 5 minutes after I leave the car and/or arm the alarm.
