Thread: Need help fixing this problem

So on gp when u turn the heat on my head lights turn off and so does my d.I.c but my headlights turn back on and d.I.c takes a good 10 minutes to turn on but it only lights up and says my doors are open and my trunk are open and also my windshield wiper fluid is out and I also have to reset my mpg cause it just bounces around
And I know that I got a hole in my catalytic converter and I'm not getting the best mpg
And I've looked for messed up wires when I had the dash apart and I don't want something serious happen

my battery is brand new

it sounds like your car is losing alot of voltage. test the output of the alt, it could be going bad

Alright I'll check it out in the next day or so
I thought about buying and new heater switch from junk yard the could draining power cause it broke just sucking alot of power to it cause it only works on the highest level

only working on hishest level is the resistor, it wouldnt cause the power loss issue. when i bought my 97 the battery was cracked. to get it home i jumped it and made sure not to touch the radio or anything but i went to lreach for my cigs and hit the heater and the car died.

uhm long shot, but i had my hvac panel go on me and caused random issues with using headlights and fans coming on. pull the Hvac panel unplug the electrical there and see if it continues. could just be a short somewhere

The heater and ac switches

Well it wasn't the hvac got a new one
When I turn the heat on headlights shut off
You can hear the head lights turn off when you turn the heater switch on
So idk what to do next

I talked to a guy he said it could be the blower resistor
