TJMC11,
when I first bought this vehicle I knew there were things I had to replace on it, and have fixed. I bought a used Climate control unit from a salvage yard it was a certified part. Since the Computer display didn't work I assumed it was bad, so I found one on the internet and bought. When I installed it and it didn't fix the problem I knew it wasn't the unit itself. The chances of both units being bad are slim to none. Last week I put a new Battery on my vehicle because it was dead, 2 or 3 days after that when I got in it to drive, out of the blue the dispay started working. Not fully just partially. The Radio , CD Player, Clock and Milage stuff showed up in the display, the controls for the temperature never came on. I put the vehicle in the Garage Last Monday morning and when I got in it today to drive to work the new Battery was dead, I had to jump start it and let it run a while to charge up. Once it was running I pulled the cables off the battery and it stayed running so that ruled out a bad altenator. I know you said it might be the CPU needs to be rest, but with the information I just gave you with a new battery just being drained, do you think I may have a short or possibly a grounding issue? If so where do I trouble shoot from on this. It was wrecked on the passenger side of the vehicle. Should I look at all the electrical on that one side. Lights etc... on the electrical. I have noticed the one light on the passengers side, the very outer bulb burns really dimm, maybe thats my starting point. I'll look at that today.I will be glad when I get it all fixed, because my 17 year old daughter is wearing me out to get her vehicle fixed. I won't let her drive it until its completely done and safe. I really appreciate yalls professional opinion on these matters. I realize it is hard to pin point problems such as these over the internet, I may leave out something that a mechanic needs to know, thanks for being patient with me on this. I hope I can get this fixed, so I don't have to take it to a dealership and spend $$$$. All input here is greatly appreciated.
