HVAC controls (fan for the interior), stereo, and cigarette lighter
i assume all three of these things are on the same circuit, and i have a problem with them.
sometimes when i start my car, none of the above mentioned electronics work.
sometimes, they work fine, but after a while of driving, the power fades away to nothing, and doesnt come back.
when this originally happened i figured it was a fuse, but since it is intemittent failure, and it FADES away instead of just shutting off immediately, i dont think it could be a fuse. its weird because when it starts to fade, the fan power goes dull, as if my battery is low. sometimes it comes back a bit stronger, but usually just fades until no power at all.
anyone know what the heck this could be? loose wiring somewhere? im hoping i dont have to rip my dash apart to find out what the eff is going on. none of my other electronics are having any problems, my headlights work, wiper motor works, getting good power to my spark plugs, and the rear defroster is working strong.
i NEED fan control because its snowing like stink around here, and my windows fog up at the drop of a hat. i dont like driving around with my windows down, cold air making my ears get frostbite. frostbite is still better than a wrecked car and insurance hassle cuz i couldnt see, but warm and toasty hands and ears AND the ability to see would be super keen.
any input is very appreciated.
