My electrical system sucks! Please help!

Well more eletrical problems. That's all this car has been. And of course I have 75,000 miles which puts me out of warrenty.

You guys might have read my last thread about my car not turning off after you take the key out of the ignition, and the wipers turning on and off by themselves
-->https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=265344 I fixed that problem with everyones help on the forums. Now i'm looking for more help.

About a week ago my right HID stopped working. I mean it turns on for about 2 sec. very dimmly then turns off. I'm gonna buy a new HID set so whatever.

A couple days ago my highbeams, foglights, wipers, left parking light/left turn sig. indicator, right parking light/right turn sig. indicator/right rear side bumper light stopped working. I hate my life!

If you guys have any suggestions on where to look or any useful info, please share! Thank you very much!

did you check the wiring under the dash and near the drivers side feet area? I am having problems with the wipers not wanting to turn off, and now my horn went nuts not wanting to turn off. Damn electrical gremlins!!

Its all in those connectors guys. Bruno you must have some corrosion running up the wires still making intermittent connections. Go back over what was don this is your issue. Were all the connectors hard soldered if not they need to be

HID's arent meant to last forever. its more than likely your bulb that burn out

Your right it was my bulb. HIDs work now.

For the rest of the problems, i'm getting my whole wiring harness replaced. I found major corrosion on the positive battery terminal which traveled through the harness.
