Something new to add to the list of strange goings on with my car. 

I did a paperclip test earleir today.  After reading the faults i locked the car up and left it for a few hours.  When i left work i unlocked the car, noticing that the indicators did not flash.  Strange, they did earlier.  I opened the door to find the interior light wasnt working either.  When i put on the ignition the MID came on dimly but flickering.  it had reset itself as well.  The radio was powering up but that was also going on and off.

 I drove it home half expecting it to go up in flames, but unfortunately it didnt.

when i got out the car and locked it, i noticed that the MID came back on and stays on.  The car will not deadlock either, only one press of the button works.

Is there anyone out there who has some idea of what the hell is going on??? 

I was thinking possibly a grounding fault, but why would it affect so many different systems?  Any ideas where to start looking

take the battery off and lev for an hour then put back on see if that helps did on mine.

Turns out it was all caused by a single fuse taht had blown.  I must have missed it on my initial check.

The fuse that blew seems to be for the hazard lights.  Strange that it took out all those other systems with it.  Glad thats one other thing fixed though
