Description of the problem	Just after parking van the electrical system went crazy. The front wipers started wiping, the wiper fluid deployed, the horn sounded. I turned off car and removed the key. Everything continued to run. At a loss i got back in, turned it on and drove it out of the garage where the noise wouldn't be so loud. Again i removed the key. I popped the hood, thinking if all else fails, i could pull the battery. I saw the fuse box by the battery (i have since looked up that it is the tipm) and i smacked it hard with my palm. The car shut up. Several months later it did a similar behavior, again while not moving. Still several months after that it did it again, this time while i was driving. Wipers, horn, washer fluid whole deal. I managed to pull over and safely stop the car. Before i could get out the car stopped its behavior. Since then i have also had other electrical problems, horn attempting to sound on its own, but no wipers, transmission in "limp mode" where it won't get out of second gear, and front blower motor intermittently running/not running. Often stopping car and opening door, and restarting car fixes it, but more recently not so much. I reported first incident to dealer, but they found nothing. I have reported further incidents and now that i am out of warranty they are advising me it is the tipm (fuse box) and replacement cost is $800 and it may not fix my problem. Because it is intermittent they claim not to be able to diagnose themselves. I would hate to have the wiper horn fluid combo happen on the highway. Can be dangerous.
