My car will not come out of park if my ac/heater is on. The emergency blinkers are stuck in the on position on the dashboard (lite up). Fan for ac/heat will not blow even though you can feel ac is on. Dashboard will not light up if ac/heat is on. All the lights get bright & dim when using turn signals. I'm sure there's a few other weird things but this is the majority. We've checked just about all the fuses both under the hood & inside the vehicle and all is well. Battery only couple months old and we also disconnected to try & reset stuff but did not work.

It sounds like you may have a bad ground. Check body ground and make sure the ground from the battery to the engine block is tight and clean.

Ground looked good and battery cables and connections are all clean and secure. Had a computer check done and nothing. Said car running great. No codes showed up. LOL. Anyway, I guess off to shop later unless someone else can help out. Good thing its only 103 for high now :-)
