| Description of the problem | 3 instances of engine electrical issues, suspect power control module box. First instance about 2 years ago, pulling into driveway, and headlights and dashboard begin to flicker uncontrollably. I pulled negative battery cable, re-connected after a couple of minutes, and all normality returns. 2nd issue, some year ago or less, car shuts down in middle of highway, luckily, right next to a parking lot and red light. As engine shut down, i suspected this issue once again. I used momentum to turn into parking lot. (just rolled in.) wife asked me what i was doing, didn't explain until i was able to secure into parking lot and stop vehicle. Once again, pulled off cable on battery, and was able to re-set computer glitch. Third issue event. Was parked in parking lot, couldn't get key control to open door. Used emergency key to open door, once again, pulled off battery cable and re-set computer. There is a problem with this computer without a doubt. |
