Hey guys,
I'll give you a background of my situation:
About 3 months ago, I started to notice my SV6 having a few electrical problems, especially when starting up. I've got aftermarket HID Xenon's on my car, and when I unlock it, I notice that one of the globes doesn't light up, and its just the standard globe. This would happen once a week maybe, very intermittently, especially when its cold. I would have to turn the Auto Lights off and then on again to get them working.
On top of this intermittent problem, my radio would intermittently turn off as well. This is a lot more common than the headlights, and quite often would be two or three occassions within one minute, sometimes not at all. Very strange.
Anyway, I figured I could wait it out until my next service (which is in 1000km...), but then I noticed it happening a few weeks ago again, as it got hotter here in Melbourne.
The kicker for me was last night, driving home on the Monash Freeway at 1am, and all my lights went off and on again! Including the headlights, interior, radio, and I assume my rear lights. It was only for a second, but scared the sh*t out of me, doin 115 (what speed limit??) on a freeway in a black car.
I called Holden today, and they reckon the Body Control Module needs to be checked and reset, and so I've booked my car in for a service as well to get it sorted, but has anyone else had this problem at all? Last night got me seriously concerned.
