    so my car has been slowly gaining more and more problems and im not sure where to start. the key wont come out of the ignition without pushing the button in the column. the dic screen doesn't work and the buttons pulse which increases in speed as the car speeds up. the hud just stopped working. the car wont come out of park unless the blower is turned off. the low coolant light comes on and off but the level is full and uses no coolant. the low trac light comes on when i go to take off every time regardless of take off and forward or reverse. after a few times of that happening the tcs off and abs lights come on. the fans dont work.

    so far i replaced a wheel bearing because it was reading funny on my scanner and the ignition switch. the car has no ses light or stored codes.

    Well the low coolant light is a dirty sensor.. You can unplug that. Otherwise the sensor is about 40-60 bucks.

    Everything else does sound like an ignition switch. But you say you've replaced it... Hmmmm bcm maybe

    This may sound crazy. I would double check the install of the ignition switch. Make sure it isn't rotated slightly causing poor connection or engagement. The problems you describe sound all like they could be related to simple electrical problem.

    BCM is a possibility as well, but I would start with cheap / free fixes first.

    A lot of unrelaed problems usually points to poor connection or poor ground check all that first ...BCMs dont fail that often Good Luck!!!
