problem #27

Jun 102004

Malibu 6-cyl

  • miles
The turn signals stop working for no reason.sometimes turning off the engine and restarting it can make them work again or pulling the bottle/can holder out can help. Lately the fuel indicater and the A/C will not work when the car is started but may come on 2 or 3 blocks down the road. Also the check engine and or the service auto light may come on. The fuses have been checked and do not appear to be damaged but sometimes rotating them will cause the part not working to start working again. I think there may be an electrial problem in the panel behind the fuses to the left of the steering wheel. This problem has been occuring with no apparent pattern except for the use of the bottle/can holder.
