Electrical Problems
Hey everyone,
I have a question on a problem that I have been having that has progressivly been getting worse...
Let me first explain how this problem has started, and what the current situaion is..
First, my front seat would move forward and backward on its own for no reason. I would be driving and all of the sudden my seat would be moving forward by itself.
That has stopped for now..
Then my daytime running lights went out.
Now the big thing here, is that now when I flip up my head lights, my interior gauge cluster lights do not come on, nor do my tail lights...
The funny thing is, that sometimes it will turn on out of the blue, and then sometimes it wont.
Currently my gauge cluster lights do not come on, nor do my night brake lights.
My brake lights work, it is just that they do not stay on at night when I flip my lights on for night driving..
Do you have any ideas what this can be??
It seems to have been getting worse...
Also I might mention that now my right head light will not pop up. It tries to, makes it half way, then closes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as always
Thanks for your time,
Take care!

First thing to check is your battery
Random electrical faults are usually the first sign of the battery quitting.
Your profile doesn't say what car you have. If its an original AC Delco check quickly for leaks
