Door locks failed to lock and unlock. Keyless entry sends signals succeccfully, lights and horn all flash, but doors wont open;even from the door panel in the car. Found faulty fuse (m38) in tipm (fuse box). Once changed the rear window wiper turned on and would not turn off. I paid an auto tech who took control over sysytem with diagnostic equipment, and by passed the wiper switch. He was able to control the front wipers, lights, horn and door locks remotely (while m38 fuse was installed) but he could not turn off the rear wipers. They stayed on even when the vehicle was powered down, key out, doors open. He said the fuse box was faulty, because everything else was working when he sent commands to the computer. I had to pull the fuse to get the rear wiper to stop, and now I cant use the door locks. I don't know if this is related, but at idle the car stutters like is going to stall. I am afraid to drive this car for fear I might get stuck if other things begin to blow/short

I attempted to start my vehicle one afternoon when I turned the key the radio turned on, the windshield wipers turned on (but were not turned to the on position) but the vehicle never turned over. I checked to make sure the vehicle was in park (it was). I tried three more times to start the vehicle with the same results. Each time checking that the windshield wipers were in the off position and again making sure the car was in park with my foot on the brake. Vehicle after another attempt started. This has not happened again since?? I have noticed in my rear view mirror that the rear windshield wiper will turn on and off every once in a while randomly (without my turning it on).
