GL goes Haywire
While driving the GL goes haywire. Battery light, brake light, airbag light, esp light, no power, windshield wipers turn on, radiator fan starts running on high speed, radio stops working and everything else goes nuts. This is the 5th time it has happened in a week. The car still drives with the exception of today when I pulled in to check it out and i couldnt turn the car off, and I coudnt shift, and after about 10 minutes the car turned off by itself. After that everything was fine.
Please help?

You have, of course, called the dealer and he said "bring it in and we will check it out"?
Have you carefully checked out the wiring to find out if you have rodent damage (mouse?, squirrel?)
When was the battery last changed?
What part of the country (I assume US) are you in or can I recommend a dealer in Portland, OR?

2. Checked where my eyes and hands can go freely and have found nothing. Went to an indy shop and he couldnt find anything.
3. Battery was changed by the dealer back in november - both the main and the auxiliary battery.
4. I live in Mid Missouri.
Oh and there is no sound coming out of the speakers. I assume its the amp and I dont know if this is as a result of this issue. It happened 2 days ago.

The rear Sam is on the passenger side trunk on the fooor behind the tail light. There is another one by the fuse panel under the hood. And I believe there is another one under the passenger seat where the battery compartment is.
