Defroster not great, and intermittent electrical issue

Featured Replies

On occasion, when the vehicle is started, the blower motor, radio, wipers, and maybe more don't work while the vehicle is running. When in the ACC position, everything works fine.

 

Different problem(maybe?), the defroster isn't working that great. I had it on full blast tonight(it's snowing a good bit in Denver right now), and it wasn't clearing the windshield or side windows very well. I can hear all fan speeds operating. I'm not sure if it isn't blowing as hard as it can, or something else is going on?

Well I've answered one of my questions. I pulled the instrument cluster to fix a few burned out bulbs, and noticed a large gap of at least a half inch between the defroster piping and the dash vents. The piping is mounted in place with 2 screws, so it looks like I'm getting some window/door seal tomorrow to seal that up.

Sounds like your ignition switch is worn out?

I've been leaning that way, but hoping not because I can't find a source for the tilt column switches.
