Let me start with saying these issues come and go with no rhym or reason.

1. With the wipers turned off they will start running fast and to turn them off I just turn the nob once then they stop. Sometimes even doing this does not work and I will be driving down the road on a sunny day, which doesn't happen very often, with my wipers running. But since the new issue below showed up my wipers are working great.

2. My keyless entry system stop working. So then I used the mental key and went and open the trunk which I guess resets it. Now that is working fine.

3. Since the reset of the keyless entry my radio now has no sound but my wipers are still working normally. Mute button show up on the screen when it is pushed. There is just no sound coming from it.

4. I kept the Star Tac in its cradle and on but now it will not power on since all this happened.

So any suggestions on how to get the volume back onto my radio, while keeping the keyless system working, and not have my wipers go on whenever they like?

Thanks for the help!!!

Just for the sake of accuracy, global warming talks about average global temperature, not particular day to day temps. One of the symptoms of increased global average temp is more weather extremes, both hot and cold (like the unseasonable snow you're having...). Just saying, it may be better to read up on it a little than to trust to the likes of Rush "The Drug King" Limbaugh for analyses on such a topic. Many times what is seen by those unfamiliar with the topic is actually one of the strongest data points supporting the efficacy of this position.

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!

Sorry I don't listen to Rush anymore and its been over 12 years since I did.

The global warming comment was me trying to be funny.

I am not sure if there is global warming but I do know as humans we are putting way to much crap in the air. I just hope mother nature doesn't decide to let one of her volcano's rip or we will all be in trouble.
