    Power windows, air con fan & wipers not working?

    Driving hubby's XR6 2003 BA. Just this arvo while waiting at school put windows down turned car off and sat and waited for the bell. Kids came turned car on and Put Windows up. Tried to turn air con fan on nothing, then tried to put windows down nothing. Drive the shirt distance home. When I restarted car they all worked but then stopped. Under the bonnet was to hot to check fuses. Let it sit there had to go I to town (5 min drive) it all semmed to work again - windows, air con fan & wipers. Just before I got home they all stopped again. Have tried once more windows work at first then no longer and no wipers or air con fan.
    Called local auto electrician he has never heard of this problem before but thought it may be electrical. Quick search on here comes up with smartlock issues, BEM, ICC, or ignition issues. My problem is not identical to those as I still have interior lights, power seats, radio and lcd display works. Still got tacho readings. Still got central locking and car starts no worries??

    Can anyone please help? Like to have this fixed before hubby home next few days.

    Thanks in advance

    Could be an earthing problem too, check to make sure your battery terminals are making good contact and remove and reposition all fuses to make sure theyre making good contact too.

    I'd suggest your battery is on its way out, if not done and dusted. Need to get the battery volts checked both running and not running.

    Both of the above. The car starts to do wierd things when the battery is near the end of its life. Check the terminals for build up that can stuff contact causing dramas.

    But there are cars that have had earths in the car (I believe in the engine bay) that lose contact and cause dramas.

    Thanks all. The battery was on its way out so I got a new one through the week. No change. Could it be an earth fault somewhere? I found on google a post with similar problem and their reversing light was busted. Fixed problem when the light was changed. Any thoughts?

    So you have the same problem as the OP? Or something else?
