A week ago, my "door open" light permently lit up.

4 days ago, my gas gauge entered reverse (drive more, gauge needle goes
higher). But the door open light went away :-).

2 days ago, my hazard lights came on permanently, even with key off
(pulling a fuse is the only way to turn them off, but then you lose indicators).

Today, if all the door are closed, there's an incessant clicking from under
the passenger console - some solenoid/switch down there is horribly confused.
That cleared itself after 12 hours.
Oh, the gas guage entered reverse again for a while.

I await tomorrow's new symptom with dread mixed with morbid curiousity.

Wahat links these things? Please?!?

Yes, I now have a service appointment at the dealer later this week
but having already talked
with them I realize the chance of going away reassured and with things
working is slim-to-none.

No aftermarket electronics in the vehicle?

 

No, none whatsoever.

 

battery could be going low on voltage or just bad

 

I'd vote an intermitent short is potentially at the root of the problem. Maybe a connector with a boot slightly askew or a piece of wire with a spot of insulation sliced, either making intermittent contact with a grounding point or another live current source. Good luck if this is it, they are damned hard to track down sometimes.

 

These cars are too new for connector corrosion issues -- especially on Nipponese cars. But the battery and its terminals are the usual suspects in most automotive electical issues. Clean the terminals and check for corrosion.

 

Thanks everyone. It's cleared itself up now - I'll see if it stays that way
