Look for water on the floor behind/under the front seats. sometimes the
metal underneath the windshield rusts and water leaks into the cabin. If
the water gets on the fuse box and realays, it could cause many electrical
problems. It has been happennig to me for a couple years, and supposedly
needs to be welded to permanentaly fix it, which would cost more than the
car is worth. If you catch it early, it may be cheaper.
