Thread: Help!!

  1. 05-07-2012 12:26 AM #1
    So when I pull the gas lever, it won't open and when I try to start the car, it won't start, my windshield wipers will start to move, but it will stop halfway and all of my lights on the dash will stay on. The windshield wipers also move when I lock my car with the key fob.

    Does it have something to do with the battery?

    I'm having the same problem right now, does anyone know the problem?
    Edit: Everytime I lock the doors with the key, the windshield wipers move. The problem just started after I installed my cai, could that be the reason? or could it be the keys?
