2012 Cadillac SRX Electrical system Problems

“Radiator cooling fan doesn't turn off . This ran my battery down. I removed my cooling fan relay switch from the electrical fuse box and unplugged my coolant temperature sensor wire and reinstalled and now seems to be working fine. I currently have 39k miles.”

“After a heavy storm, I attempted to start my car that was parked in the driveway, but nothing in the car would respond to the key fob or push to start. After jumping the battery, we were able to start the vehicle, however, the electrical systems were erratically shutting off and restarting. The gauges and system lights kept blinking and turning off. The engine began to smoke, so I turned the vehicle off. There was a musty smell which provoked me to search for water intrusion. The front floorboards were soaking wet. …”

“I have been having problems with my headlights for about 3 years.my headlights are so dim I have replaced the low beam bulbs 4times. It's cost me 100.00 every time. I took it to the dealership more than once and they said it needs new headlights, the whole assembly. I can't afford it. It's because of moisture inside the headlight glass. Well after complaining for 3 years I finally got a letter in the mail saying it's not a recall but due to moisture inside the headlights they need to be replaced and they will reimburse me up to 800.00 for getting them fixed. …”

I went to jiffy lube to have it done. The vehicle was working fine, since I only drove maybe once or twice a week. …”

“The first concern was due to a leak in the sunroof shorting out a circuit board the tailgate of my vehicle nearly shut on my son as he was attempting to reach in to remove an item from the cargo space. He didn't know it was closing and there must not be a working safety feature because if I had not screamed it would have closed on him. Secondly, the headlights and brake lights have started flickering while the car is in motion. The headlights are already overly dim due to a moisture problem, but now they flicker and while driving at night this is not safe. …”
