Ok... so I’ve been dealing with some very strange electrical issues lately and would like to throw them out there for discussion.
A couple days ago I was approaching the H3 and it wouldn’t respond to the key fob. I thought maybe the batteries were low in the fob, but after unlocking with the key and getting inside I noticed the CD player making some unusual noises, like it was going through the CDs. It started right up, but the time was reset and the HVAC controls were flashing. The flashing only lasted a minute and everything was back to normal.
Yesterday while driving to work I heard a loud popping noise from the speakers. A few seconds later I noticed the compass and thermometer in the mirror was displaying some strange characters. Then, very shortly after, the truck died. Luckily I was in the parking lot! But it started right back up like nothing had happened.
Those are the major issues. Minor issues include no dome lights, regardless of the wheel switch position or the dome light defeat. Also, the traction control button appears to be disconnected or something. It doesn’t do anything when pressed, but I can see the light on the dash when I start the vehicle.
For starters I’m going to investigate the grounds, but if anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears!
