computer problem ?

to start with

1. the horn will start all on it own, and just blast away till the batt are dead /some times will stop before then. now the horn is burned out.
dealer left it blasting away all night till the batt went dead, said they never heard it go off.

2. the dome light and the door ajar lights come on and off buy them selvs.

3. the wipers will not turn off propely....need new multi switch.(just added this as a companion problem).

4. the light stating trani overdrive is (off) will come on sometimes and othere times as just a flicker.

5. the light on the dash saying check motor finely did but the dealer got it to go out.

6. the spedo would not work. dealer fixed this one also. i hope.

spent a lot of cash at the dealer and they could not fix these problems......
but were very happy to charge me for working on them.

any help is needed.

I had alot of the same problems and it all was related to a leaky windshield that got the back of my fuse panel wet. GEM modale is in the back side of your fuse panel, it stands for generic electric module. Wait to your starter engages itself around 2am, if it does pop your hood and pull the single wire off your starter solenoid, but anyways look for water and grab a hair dryer, what do you got to lose.

window

i did just replace the front and pass door windows, the windshild had a crack and the pass was shot out while i was driving down the fwy
(and the law says i can not have a gun on my person)
but any how, there was/is no water leak, all was/is dry.
but thanks for the info i will see about getting the module checked out just in case there is a short in it.

Water somewhere bigtime. Maybe behind fuse panel area.
