Intermittent issue with the dome lights, they will turn on by themselves while driving and the only way to shut them off is push the dome override button. Alarm system has also gone off by itself with no one near the vehicle or trying to enter the vehicle. The cigarette lighter and the two multipurpose plugs work intermittently. Intermittent wipers sometimes work and other times may stop while in use. It appears there is a short somewhere in the sytem causing these issues.

problem #1

I previously reported 2 other failures refr to ODI number 748064 this time my dome light stayed on and would not shut off I pushed the dome override button several times to shut the light off when I did all of my headlights and dash lights went out. I had to use the override headlight switch to turn on my lights. We took it to the dealer and they ordered a new headlight switch. As of the present time they have replaced my turn signal switch, my ignition switch, and now will be replacing the headlight switch. I feel these problems could endanger other owners. Could someone please contact me and let me know if I am the only person who is having problems so I can tell if this is just my vehicle or are others having problems. Thank you, you may call during the daytime at my work. Again thank you for your help
