| Description of the problem | I was driving down a state highway at 40 mph. When my horn started blowing, windshield wiper turned on, lights flashing so i had to turn onto a side road. Motor was still running so i turn it off. The engine stopped but everything else remained on. Horn was still blowing, wipers on... I disconnected the horn wires to stop the horn. I started to move some wires thinking that there may be a short somewhere. Finally everything stopped but now my car wouldn't start. I had to get it towed. Through some research i found it to be the tipm ( total integrated power module. It has been fine since i had it replaced. Fortunately this all took place during the day in good weather. Had it happened at night or in the winter snow or in some remote area it would have caused a great deal of pain or a dangerous situation. From what i have researched myself this is not a isolated incident. Please review this information. Thank you. |
