This car has experienced many electrical problems over the years some of which I've been able to deal with. The latest ones in the past year have to do with the lights and it's getting to be a safety problem. Within a few years of purchasing this auto, the automatic door lock on the slider stopped working. About seven years ago, the automatic window on the passenger side stopped working. I have dealt with those problems. Over the years there have been many light bulbs that have �burned� out including taillights, parking lights, low and high beam lights. I've found ten receipts for repairs on those, but the most of them have been in the past two years. I was driving on a highway in the dark yesterday and tried to switch from low beam to high beam lights and they are �burned� out again! both lights were replaced 10/4/17. I'm afraid that I might find my lights not working at all because there's an ongoing problem that no one seems to know how to repair. This is not safe!!.
The head lights will turn off unexpectedly. Flipping the on off switch helps to turn them back on, but it is getting harder and harder for them to stay on. I was driving in the early, dark morning hours down a very dark highway that is not illuminated with street lights.

While driving on the interstate all of the gages in the cluster went to zero (mph, guel, engine temp) and I had no directional signals or emergency flashers.
The map light bulbs made incomplete electrical contact. This caused arching between the contacts on both passenger and driver side map lights. The plastic then melted and resulted in a fire inside the map light assembly (oem wagoner part no. J5-pc579).
Passenger reading light started to blink and went out. I removed cover and the light socket assembly had melted.

The turn indicator intermittently activates in the wrong direction while attempting to change lanes. Occasionally, the blinker flashes in the opposite direction from where the blinker was moved. After several attempts of moving the turn indicator to the desired direction, the problem resolves. The driver has to pay close attention to where the blinker is flashing despite placing the lever up for a right turn and down for a left, in order to safely change lanes. This has occurred with several different drivers of this vehicle.
Several tmes the head lights have went out while going down the road. Can not find any thing loose or corroded. Mostly happens during damp weather. The wipers have quit once also. Power steering pump is going out also.
The passenger side map light not working, so found how to remove cover to replace bulb. Bulb was not blown, but the housing was blackened and melted. Bought a replacement at a dealer and it wouldn't fit! tried in both driver's side and passenger's. Parts guy there was surprised that it wouldn't fit, so filed the plastic for me so it would fit. It lit for just a second but wouldn't stay lit. He refunded me. I've been reading where this has happened to others. Is there a recall?.
Turn on right blinker and the left one activates. At times the blinkers do work correctly yet it is getting more persistent this issue is occurring. This is a severe safety issue as people cannot tell you are making a turn due to blinker failure.
We are having problems with our multifunction switch wiper high beams. We noticed this a couple of days ago when we turn the turning signal on to go right it was saying we where trying to turn left . This happened on a busy intersection and we almost got hit. Now its been doing it more and more. When my wife was driving the Mini van she was turning left on a busy street. She turned the turnsignal on to turn left but it was showing right she almost got hit by another vehicle. It scared my three children and my wife.
