Post Electrical Problems

I am posting this in the NBC category as that is what I have. Literally overnight my ac/heater, turn signals, horn, rear defrost and windshield wipers just quit working. I contacted roadside assistance and they rendered the vehicle unsafe. So it is now being towed to the nearest dealership which is two hours away. I am not worried as it is under warranty but am mostly curious if anyone else has had this problem. I also have a long list of other things to be fixed. Just look for feedback.

Had the same issue for one night on my Turbo S.

Try spraying either contact cleaner or WD-40 in the ignition switch. It is a gang switch and somtimes some of the circuits don't switch when you turn the key. Since you had it towed to the dealer, make him change it.

Not a big deal, but irritating.

Good luck

I'll vote ignition switch...

Do the headlights still work, or no?
