Intermittent electrical problems caused by ignition switch failures. In April 2004 at 15,000 miles and again in April 2005 at 33,000 miles, the ignition switch on my 2003 Envoy xl failed. The symptoms in each case were abs/brake/traction lights staying on, no hvac fan, and no cruise control. The symptoms occurred once every dozen starts, and finally reached a hard fail. In each case, the dealer mechanic identified codes set for multiple systems and replaced the ignition switch. With the most recent failure, the mechanic commented that they replace quite a few of these switches.
