2010 DGC Dash Lights, Sliding door Fault, Wipers On, and gauges zeroed.
Hey y’all,
I recently bought a 2010 3.8 DGC SXT without the RES. This van had sat for many years and I replaced a lot of mechanical components and cleaned up the interior which had evidence of mice. After getting it roadworthy I took it for a very smooth and uneventful drive. When I returned, the power door opened but failed to close on its own. Then when I went to start it, after about 5 seconds all the gauges would zero, all the dash lights would turn on and the wipers wouldn’t stop.
This happened with the same 5 second delay each time I started the car, I’ve been troubleshooting it for a few days now. Today I went to start it again and surprisingly, the issue went away, I started and restarted it a few times and still, no issue. I drove it down the road, parked it for a while then restarted and of course, it came back. I used my scanner and got the codes below… the same two codes from 3 different modules plus the B193C code which indicates “Left Power Sliding Door Switch Circuit High”.
I unplugged and visually inspected the wiring and I didn’t see any problems. I also unplugged the door wiring at the B pillar thus bypassing the module and all the sliding door wiring and still, same code and the issue remains.
With this information I have surmised that it’s an electrical issue, likely a damaged wire between that B pillar and the TIPM. Where would you guys look? Do you think I’m on the right track?
