Hmmm, computer trouble maybe?

Well I thought I had the blend door issue but after I had disconnected and reconnected my battery everything worked fine. A day or so later the problem is back. Then the wiper fluid wouldn't come out. The an hour later it would. Sometimes my auto rolldown on the drivers side window doesn't work, sometimes it does. Im disconnecting the battery again after work to see if that fixes the heat problem again. If it does do I need a computer maybe?

I could also be a few things wrong. Like your MFS (Multi Function Switch) for your washer fluid, a relay for your auto down window (located in a group of relays under the dash in about the middle of the dash, and a vac. leak or defective controlls for the heat or maybe it is the blend door.

Yeah I agree with the dirty dog. Nothing you mentioned is controlled by any computer on the car. Do you have a good schematic? Try the autozone web site for one and then you can trace out each issue one at a time. Nothing here is related except that they all runn on battery power. Sounds weird but maybe an intermittent short inside your battery. I've seen stranger!
