Went for a ride today after wiggling and tightening everything I could find.
Radio and cruise are working so far. Will get more chances to try it this week.

So- the gremlin is back. Its gotta be a bad ground or something.
I started it up first thing today, and the right wiper was going full blast. The button wasn't moved and I made sure. Nothing would turn it off, so I shut it off and restarted it and everything went back to normal.
So weird!

Gotta be a ground. It seems to be jumping from system to system, so maybe figure out where those systems overlap?

sure sounds like a ground... I dont THINK that system was multiplexed...

have you or anyone else disconnected any school lights or such yet?
on my carpenter i had a wierd buzzer that would go off and it turnbed out when the school stop sign got yanked that the wire for the solenoid was just flopping around and when it would ground it grounded through another device on the same circuit and would cause a buzzer to go off for no reason... I finally tracked down the wire in the electrical panel and just cut it..

I haven't disconnected anything at all. There was some tv equipment removed, I don't see a strobe light on top, and the four way flashers up top don't light up or do anything as far as I can figure out.

It could have been the TV equipment, depending on the install, it could very well have messed up the grounds.

As Caddi implied, it could be damn near anything. Any bare wire that drops the 12volts (likely to blow a fuse but still), a loose ground that is otherwise correct, etc.

Tracing that kind of crap especially on a hack job with no electrical diagram is a nightmare.
