I saw a thread with a similar problem as mine, but I was told to start a new one.
A few months ago, my Service Vehicle Soon light came on. It would come on and stay on sometimes when I started the car, and sometimes it wouldn't go on at all. I asked a guy at Auto Zone, and he said it could be a number of things, such as oil or headlights. There was no noticeable problem.
Some time after that, not sure how long, I started having electrical problems when I started the car. The vents would shut off, as well as the radio, lights, and power windows. This wouldn't happen every time I started it, and it usually only lasted a few seconds.
Recently these problems have been happening more often. Everything would shut off for several minutes, and when the air came back on it would shut off again when I tried to open the windows. Yesterday I couldn't get the windows to open at all. I tried again today and they worked. Since the windows wouldn't open yesterday, I tried to put the air on. It didn't work. Every once in a while it would go on for a second and then go off. Eventually it stayed on, but if I tried to open the window it shut off again.
Today when I started it, the air and windows worked right away, and the Service Vehicle light didn't go on. The next time I started it the light came on, and the air and windows would randomly shut off, but only for a second. I'm not sure about the headlights because it was bright outside.
What could be causing this problem?
My check engine light is on, and I got it checked at Auto Zone. They said it was the evaporation emission system purge/vent solenoid. Could that be causing the problems?
