While driving at highway speeds a vehicle started to back out of a driveway. When I attempted to honk my horn, it would not work. This created a very hazardous condition for me and the occupants of the car! I have checked both the fuse and the horn relay and find no defects. The horn works only intermittently at best and is not reliable in a dangerous situation.

As I was driving my buick lesabre 2000 my windows lock up on me it was a very hot summer so the electrical windows with no go up and down. The engine is bad. 1490000 miles. Electrical system is problems. The car wiring is loose and can be a dangerous. I tried to pull window down and repair its manually frozen with no power. My seat are uncomfortable with hard iron wire.
Car windows and gas gauge haven't worked in a long time however now the car will not start consistently even with a brand new battery. You have to charge the battery every time to start it. Ready to get rid of this worry.
