GF has a Chevy Cruze about 14000 miles on it. Car has been slow-starting lately. Sometimes an idiot light comes on about a problem with the security system. Sometimes when starting, the windshield wipers and four-ways come on. After start, the wipers turn once and stop. Have to manually shut off the four-ways. No other warning lights/signals. Not sure if it's a bad battery, alternator, something within the computer or a wiring problem.
Voltage reads 14-14.2. Any help would be appreciated, but probably end up taking it to the dealership. Just hadn't seen this problem with wipers and four-ways coming on seemingly random at start.

She says this, or you've experienced it? Sounds completely crazy.

I was an auto technician. It's a blown head gasket.

14,000 miles... any chance the car has gone through some flood waters?

Chevy's can do weird things if teh battery has a bad cell or two. It will still start but it will impact the functioning of the control modules.
Good luck and let the dealership sort it out.

How big of a girl are we talking? The pressure switch under the drivers seat may be over amped. Did you check the voltage while she is sitting in the driver's seat?

Measure the voltage again with engine off a few loads on(headlights, blower fan)

You have a battery issue. Either it is weak or there is a loose connection. Might be corrosion on the wires. That could be a tough issue to track down if it is the latter. Check the battery about 20 minutes after shutting the car down and see what the voltage reads.

It's actually a relay. May be sticking or stuck completely/ failed. There is quite a few of them. One sends power to everything. One for electrical and so on. I'm thinking it is a relay that is going out. People have taken their car apart thinking it was a major issue when all they had to do is replace the relay.
