Default Hazards, high beams, all wipers turned on driving in the rain!?

Please tell me I'm not the only one that has had this happen. Driving along at about 70mph in a light rain, my hazards turned on, my high beams turned on, and my rear wiper (front wipers were already on). I pulled over and shut the car off, turned it back on, still there. I turned it off again, then back on, and it was back to normal. Didn't come back the rest of the day, while driving in rain. I had not driven through any deep water or anything like that, like I said it was light rain and I was going about 70.

I'm going to take it to the dealer this week sometime. Has anyone heard of this happening? I sure as hell hope my car doesn't have some crazy electrical problem. If it does I need to find out fast, isn't it 30 days for lemon laws? Will them checking the ECU hopefully explain what happened?

Sounds like you've got a gremlin! I've never heard of that happening in ANY car...

Dude... you didn't name your car Christine did you?

I drive in the rain all the time, and have never had anything like that happen.

Something strange happened to me a week or so ago. Filling up the car in Dallas and it was cold. Got back in the car and had the key on to play the radio. My wife was calling someone on the phone so I turned down the radio (not off) and the left blinker came on. Turned up the volume and it went off. This happened twice while sitting there. FYI the turn signal was not on or in the position to give a blink. I have not tried it again but I am going to lunch and will check it out.

hmmm, maybe grounding kits would help us? I still haven't gotten to the dealer yet, will let you all know what they say.
