Hi, 1 month ago my car had an electrical problem, flasher, ctsy light, dash gauge ( light and indication), wiper, electrical door lock and electrical trunk opening stop working all at the same time. Ive decide to unplug the negative of the battery and everything came back to normal except flasher than 3 days after its goes off again ive did the same thing and work. Now I have to do this every 3 days. Please help me fix it im tired and I have kid's to protect I dont want it to goes off when I need the wiper it could be dangerous.

Hi:
It sounds like you have a bad body control module (BCM). When you disconnect the battery, you are reseting it. You will need to have it checked by a mechanic that has the proper test equipment.

Let me know if this helps.

Then, there has to be a ground probem causing this. That many things don't stop working at the same time. Check the grounds to the engine block, body. Something is loosing connection. Also, under the hood there is a power distribution box. Make sure the plugs are all tight.

Let me know what you find.
