RE: [DML] Update/Next Question

["Joseph Kuchan" <josephkuchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Really bizarre behavior of electrical systems such as you describe is often 
the result of a bad or completely missing ground. Circuits then behave in 
weird ways due to "sneak" paths that change depending upon the setting of 
various switches in the car. I know that may not be too much help, but in my 
experience that is usually the cause of the kind of behavior you descibe.

I would start by verifyingh that there are no blown fuses, then start 
looking for missing grounds. Often corrosion at a grounding point is the 
culprit.
