I have to slide the switch back 5 or 6 times for it to engage the motor. (currently malfunctioning) 3) The passenger power window switch went bad last month, I changed it out and it began working. A month later it has gone out again. (currently out) I have also changed the alternator and battery in the past 6 months due to them not charging/not holding charge correctly. I checked for parasitic draw. Multimeter reads 0.18 on 10A setting across neg terminal and diconnected neg cap. With main wires still connected and the car off, MM reads 13.06V immeadiately after the car was cut off and went down to 12.98 after a minute. Please advise, thanks in advance.

It sure sounds like the symptoms of flood damage. There is nothing that connects those issues. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. stroller Novice Feb 27, 2020, 11:46 AM Post #3 of 4 (1403 views) Re: '05 Sorento persistent, intermittent electrical issue Sign In Sounds a bit like the ETAC is about to go by by. I own one these. The windows did not work, nor the locks, wipers front or rear. Started and ran fine however. As to the electrical draw. It drawing amperage or voltage? I can disconnect the ground from my battery and use a test light an it lights and with a dvom it shows voltage. Strange thing is it does not affect anything. The ETAC is located at the bottom of the center dash console behind the ash tray and the other slide out. You gently pry the side trim pieces up at the edge and pull off. The a bunch of screws. It is a tad tricky to get out. The dealer can get you a new one. I got one from a junk yard and everything has been working fine.

It drawing amperage or voltage? If you don't understand electrical theory, please don't respond to questions. Voltage is not a current draw. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
