Default I got a VERY weird problem......

Ive had my z almost 2 years now, and in the last week I noticed that i will be driving and at RANDOM points the dome lights in the car will turn on by themselves like my car is possessed......its happened 5 times between las friday and today randomly. I have to literally turn the switch from "door" to "off" and then a couple mins later if i turn it to "door" they are off. Very strange. I havent done anything to my car in a year in terms of even the slightest mod
ANYONE ELSE EVER HAD THIS WEIRD PROB>>>>>?????

this is like some german car electrical problem like crap

What makes you think your Z isn't possessed?

Well, at least you have a name for her - Christine.

I would take it to the dealer - but it's always a hassle when taking intermittent problems to dealers, the problems NEVER seem to show up when the mechanic is watching.

I have a different intermittent problem with my Z, and the problem never occurs when I take my car into the dealer to fix it.

A psychic will tell you that your "loved-ones" on the other side send signals to let you know that they are around. (Like flickering lights, sending pennied from heaven, sending feathers, etc.) Whenever your lights go on for no reason, just know that someone on the other side is trying to let you know they're around...not to spook you by any means.

I've heard of cases like this before. My uncle works on exclusive cases with the NYPD. He's kind of the family, how should I say this "blacksheep." I would say psycho but he's totally normal except hehe he's a psychic. He told me that spirits who stay behind can get attached to objects that people really care deeply about, in your case your Z. He told me that when the spirit leaves the body, it can cling to something nearby(he stated a specific distance but I forgot) to something someone really cares alot for. And so I'm totally kidding bro go to the dealership and get it checked out .

Possibly the body control module (BCM). The dealer should know about this but if not tell them to check the bulletin for it. I have seen this a few times and it was always the BCM.

The BCM is located behind the driver's kick panel. (To the left of the dead pedal) It controls pretty much everything inside the car. If that is the problem make sure you have all your keys and remotes with the car because they will have to reprogrammed.

It does sound like the problem. I've seen intermitent problems like this before and that was the problem. There is a way for the dealership to check it. I can't remember it right now. It is obviously best to take it when it is happening but that is hard to do sometimes. If it is not happening when you take it in they will probably tell you there is nothing they can do until it does happen. Tell them about the bulletin when you take it to them. If your dealership has experienced Z techs they should know what to look for. Let us know what they find though.
