    Sup,

    Dunno what's going on with the damn thing, but since yesterday evening, sometime all,my gauges beside speed turns off while driving, as well as my dic telling me somethig about abs trac stab and low gas.

    Did it once yesterday and once this morning.

    Tonight I had my abs and trac light turn on and then my radio stopped and it wrote LOCKED and I heard some weird noises through the dash speaker.

    Radio begun working back after a few mins and only abs and trac light were on.

    Stopped home, turned car back on, all normal again.

    Weird uh? Gonna change my bad wheel hub tonight as an attempt, but otherwise I haven't changed anything on the car since a while. 2004 compg.

    Sounds like it could be a charging issue.

    My battery terminals are tight, my car seems to perform well too, no lights dimming, radio works fine, car cranks over fine too.

    Wheel hub is changed and I unplugged the old pac or whatever module that converts xm to aux, I'm suspecting it to do something. Will see next time I drive if it happens again.

    Could it be anything else too?

    bad ignition switch ( known issue on these cars).

    I went through this with a 2001. could not figure out what was going on. the information center would fade away or go off. the heat would only work on high setting and eventually the starter would not engage. So more than one contact on mine was going bad. I pulled it apart after changing it and sure enough the little lever contacts were all burnt at the tips.

    I don't think 2004+ have the same problems about the ignition switch that the 97-03 had. And it doesn't do the symptoms you had.

    With the PAC aux switch unplugged and the new wheel hub, drove around for 10km today and it seemed well.
