I have a 2004 STR that I'm getting close to calling it a day with. I've had a few challeneges with it, and the latest is an odd lighting gremlin.

The other day driving - of course at night - I lost the following simultaneously:

- My passenger side headlight (both high (reg bulb) and xenon low beam However fog lights and the daytime bulb continue to work
- Passenger side remote mirror control
- Dashboard, center console, door switch and gauge (speedo/tach) lights are all dark, but not the lighting behind the nav screen or the lighting behind the led screen on the gauges. Radio and A/C continues to work.
- Remote fuel door release! (I am now using the emergency release in the trunk to fill gas)

I looked at the manual and have checked several fuses and relays with no identified issues, but I can't find any common points in those either. I've also played around with the auto dimming settings on the steering wheel stalk, but everything seems to be working as intended. I suspect there must be some central common point, but given the distribution of what's wrong I'm stymied to guess where.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Chuck

 

I'd start with the electrical guide (JTIS, search or google for it) and work through it. May be nothing serious but could take a while to find. Or maybe an autoelectrician if you don't DIY.

 

That is a really odd set of problems?? Just a very long shot. How old is the battery? Any water damage to the car in the past? I have had flood cars do something like that??
