Did you just get the vehicle? and have you read your manual thoroughly? they are all un related. unless you have gremlins. when you play you figure it out. the wipers could have been on rain sensor as that would explain the one all of a sudden. Is your radio in phone mode. It sounds like the old chrysler K car turn the lights on and the radio goes off. Start with one problem exclude the others that work from your question and work from there.

I have had the car for about 1 1/2 years. I bought it from a Nike executive who only drove it to and from the airport and it only had 27K miles on it when I got it. It was like brand new and for an 8 year old car perfect condition.

I have read the manual from front to back.

Wiper sensor, correct me if I am wrong, should work when you turn the wipers on to the first position. My problem was when they were turned completely off.

The radio might be in phone mode but since the phone won't work or is dectected by the car how would I get it out of phone mode?

I agree all these items should be unrelated and just might well be but it is strange that when one problem stops a new one come up and I mean right away.

Oh and here is a new one I just noticed, when I get out of the car at night the lights come on, which is what they are suppose to do but now they blink and go into high beam. It doesn't happen all the time but just most the time. This started on last Sunday.:crybaby2:

I will post the car history as I know it.

Thanks guys for all the help!!!

A nother problem has come up today! Anybody want to sell me some swamp land?

NEW PROBLEM TO ADD TO THE LIST:

I was driving the neighbors to the airport today and half way there I started to feel a vibration like a tire was going flat. I was getting off at the next exit when it stopped shaking then 5 minutes later started to shake again the I hear a thud and the vibration stopped and has not come back. So I dropped the neighbors off and then stopped at Costco. I went to go set my parking break, which I do out of habbit and the damn pedel went to the floor. My breaks are working just fine but no parking break now.

Can anybody think of what might have happened?

Thanks for all the help!!!

Here is the update. We finally had a sunny day up here so I checked several things out. Under the hood both fuse boxes were dry and in great shape. I then took out the back seat and found the control unit for the cell phone which I unplugged then reconnected. At the time the phone would not charge and now it does. Before I did that I disconnected the battery in the trunk. As I started to reconnect the battery I noticed that the ground pole was looking pretty bad so I cleaned both poles and connectors before reconnecting. After reconnecting I started the car and got three or four error messages which went away the second time I stared the car. So now my cell works, wipers are working as they should, and my radio is back to normal.

Could the dirty poles on the battery been part of the issue?

I also need to find a place to get the replacement break wear sensor. I replaced the front breaks but I am still getting the break pad wear message. Anyone know where and how much they cost?

Thanks for the help!
