computer malfunction? 03 Spercrew
This is a good one, first found battery dead. Charged and put batt back in and noticed fan motor sound. Blower fan running with key off. Next discovered radio would turn off when in a drive gear. Windsheild wipers the same way only would come on when it wanted to. Intermittand chime sound would occur while driving. Disconnected battery again and reconnected. Next the blower fan went back to normal, radio still only plays in park or neutral and now the radio will play with key off and windows operate along with the chime when the door is opened. Recommended to leave battery disconnected for longer period. Waited two hours. Reconnected, everything seems to be back to normal. Ran motor put in drive radio worked , nothing on when key off. Success at last. Got up this morning everthing looked normal, truck would not start. Haven't checked battery voltage yet. Got any ideas. Or is it dealer time.
