Aztek
whole instrument panel blinks on and off. automatic lights and door (and hatch) locks won't work. hatch lock won't even open with key. this occurs only occasionally and don't have any warning when driving and suddenly headlights and everything goes off. can turn onto manual headlight for lights, but instrument panel and radio blinks and windows won't power up or down. apparently this is so common it is referred to as the Aztek Disco effect. owners have went thru many misdiagnosis and repair bills if you don't read the forums that suggest changing the Body Control Module. this is costly and usually has to involve a dealer to just find the the part (if you can handle a moderate rated replacement) and has to go to the dealer to be reprogrammed.
