LITTLE HELP WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUE
My 06 has an electrical issue that has me stumped. Here are the symptoms:
1. Sometimes the battery is drained. This can happen if it sits 3 or 4 days, but also can happen immediately after I start it and drive for a few minutes. The battery issue is intermittent. The battery is fairly new. I've had it checked and it fully charges and can hold a charge.
2. Sometimes the warning chime has static when it goes off.
3. Rarely, at start up the instrument panel doesn't immediately register. Tach and warning lights and messages work but no gauges. After 10 or 15 seconds all the needles go to where they should be.
4. The alternator makes a loud whirring/whining sound. I recently replaced a bad wire which goes from alternator to battery connector/harness. The old one was almost broken in two. Whirring/whining sound continued.
I've recently replaced the 3rd brake light, which seems to be working right; and I also replaced the driver door control module. At first the driver window switch didn't work, but after resetting all the connectors it works right.
Any suggestions?
