problem #1

Tribute ES 3.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 135,000 miles

I have several electrical issues with my vehicle. I brought it used in 2004 and it has been a great vehicle up until 2015. The cruise control no longer works, the air bag light blinks and then stays on, cannot adjust the side mirrors and having problems with electric locks (not remote battery, it has been replaced), Radio, Clock, CD player and cigarette lighter no longer works. I haven't tried opening the moon roof because I cannot trust it will not get stuck in an open position. The Airbag light and cruise control problem has been the longest issues. Around 2015, I started having problems with the radio, clock, cruise control, side mirrors. The radio would just start playing on it own. I could turn the vehicle off and lock the doors and then go back to the later and the radio would be playing (I have the only keys to the vehicle). Finally I read somewhere to push in the cigarette lighter. The first couple of times it did not work but now it seems to be working. It is very frustrating to have all of these electrical problems. Unfortunately, I don't have hundreds of dollars to have the problems tracked done. Any help any one could give would be great.
