Default ok... here's one for the guru's.... I cant figure what the hell is going on

ok... I turn on my car last night on my way to Famous Daves BBQ in Westbury.. and I get the bulb with an "X" through it warning on my dashboard. I'm figuring I just blew a bulb somewhere. Nope.. once I got there all bulbs are working fine.. So I went inside to pick up dinner, got back to the car started it up and turned on the radio and I look down to the radio and all the lights are out, on it, the ac controls,all red lights in the interior except the cluster. thats not the funny part.. when I pulled out of the parking lot, there was no left turn so I had to make a right.. as soon as I put on my right turn signal all the interior lights flashed with the damn turn signals....and once I made the turn they went out when the turn signal clicked off!!!!not funny.. but I did have a good laugh about it.. but now I am pissed....... anybody else have this problem..!!!!!!!!!!

Default Sounds like your car has got disco fever.

Sorry I can't offer anything more insightful than that. Good luck.

Wild guess: Have you had the harness recall done? Shorts are possible and can do weird stuff

Default It does sound likely it is related to the recall work. I would go back to the dealer...

who did the work straight away just in case it causes other issue - such as fire!

Default that happened to me a couple years ago, all the lights went out one night, i think

it was a hazard relay, not positive as it was a couple years ago, but i can check my records, luckily i was still CPO'd then so it was only $50 to fix
