2000 Expy Electrical Gremlin

Have a 2000 Expy with strange things going on. When I got in it after work today The air conditioner was on with no key in the ingnition. Then after I put the key in and turned started it I had some crazy things happen. After I put it in drive the stereo turned off, I had intermittent lights in the instrument cluster come on, specifically the washer fluid low light and the 4x4 light. Background....it rained all day today here and every once in a while i get a few drops of water in the area of the brake and accelerator. Got that today. to make matters worse, when the intermittent lights came on is the only time my wipers or interior lights seemed top work. So, when I got home and parked it, I got under where the fuse box is because I was thinking something was shorting out due to water or something like that. Heard a noise like a sizzle, but not like sparking. Went in the house for a while went back out and something in the car is clicking off and on. I located one source of the clicking under the driver's side dash, but have no idea what it is or how to get it out. Vague, I know, but under the hood there is also a clicking noise from behind the engine itself, like up against the firewall. For now have disconnected the battery. Help!!!!!! Please!!!!

Leaky windshield syndrome.

You need your windshield sealed ASAP. Maybe a new fusebox and/or a GEM module unless you get lucky and catch it in time.

SEARCH keywords "windshield leak GEM* " for previous discussions.
