CrAzY electrical problems *scratching head here*
Enter '91 Convt...everything is fine...then all of a sudden, the radio comes on, but no sound, the power antenna will not come up, the Electronic Climate Control seems to have no power at all, this morning, the wipers went nuts...I turned them on, nothing happened. Then I turned them off, and they worked a couple times. They work only on high, sometimes they hide themselves behind the hood, and other times, they stop in the middle of the windshield..and 2 or 3 minutes later, they hide themselves...any ideas? I am lost here. Maybe the ECM is going bad? :confused: By the way, a CCM code search revealed a C25 code...courtesy light relay coil? (They are out now also)... :confused:

Anyone had similiar problems in the past, maybe with several electrical systems messing up at the same time? I need wipers that are dependable..*LOL*...and a defroster...pretty soon...not to mention the terrible sounds I have to :sing: while I am driving, since I have no radio..(Any wonder no one will ride with me now??)..*LOL* Any and all help is appreciated. I hate to go to the dealer.. :(

If you are willing to work on it yourself, then buy the service manuals, they will pay for themselves after the first repair compared to what the dealer will sock you. It definetely sounds like you have several problems. Work on the most important for safe driving first and then go on to the next.

Check your ground. Sounds funny that you all of the sudden started having problems with many different circuits. The only thing in common to all of them is the ground

Guys,
I am hanging my head in shame... :(
I found the problem with all the problems I was having. I thought I had checked all the fuses, but on a whim, I checked them again this afternoon after work. Guess what? After 2 months of no A/C or radio, I found that the courtesy light fuse was bad. It looked good, but when I tested it, it showed bad. I replaced it, and all the above items cleared right up!! Thanks to ALL of you..you guys ROCK!!! :chevy
