Hello, the turning signals, windshield wipers and high beams, horn just stopped working. I checked every single fuse and relay with an ohm meter for resistance etc, all checked out I even swapped them all around just to see if that would help. I checked both fuse boxes under hood and in trunk. I replaced the steering column control module and still nothing. Is there another relay under the dash I am missing or something? Help Please!

Thank you, Josh

Hello,

This is common when the TIPM goes out which you can replace yourself because it self initializes. Check out the diagrams and instructions (below). Please let us know what happens.

Thank you we replaced the TIPM last night and the problem remains the same. Is there anything else that can be done? Can the TIPM be tested?

Thanks

When you did the TIPM did you do the front control module? I see they are separate on this car.

Here is the test and the diagrams below

Diagnostic Test
1) Perform Body Verification Test
Disconnect all jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
Ensure that all accessories are turned off.
Ensure that the battery is fully charged. If the battery was disconnected for any reason. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE. For accessory calibration procedures.
If the FCM has been replaced, the Pinion Factor MUST be programmed into the FCM. Refer to the scan tool for program procedure.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs from all modules.
(Export only) If the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) and/or Siren was replaced, select ITM from the from the scan tool ECU view menu then "Misc. Functions" and perform the applicable replacement procedure.
If the vehicle is equipped with Express Up Power Windows and the battery was disconnected during repairs, run both front windows all the way down. Next, run the window all the way up and hold the switch in the up position for five seconds to re-initialize the express up feature.
Perform this step only if diagnosing faults related to the HVAC system.
The Manual Temperature Control (MTC) is not on the Bus and not addressable with a scan tool. Perform the following to clear DTCs from the MTC: 1. Turn the blower control on. 2. Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait until both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C mode switch. 3. When the A/C status indicator begins flashing DTCs, set the Mode switch to the floor position, simultaneously press the A/C mode switch and the EBL mode switch down until both LEDs start flashing (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the mode switches.
For vehicles equipped with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC), if repairs were made to any of the HVAC doors, linkage, door actuators, or door actuator circuits, run the actuator calibration function by selecting the following from the scan tool menu: select HVAC, More Options, System Tests, Actuator Calibration Test, and Start. Follow the directions displayed by the scan tool. Allow the test to run to completion before proceeding.
For vehicles equipped with MTC, if repairs were made to any of the HVAC doors, linkage, door actuators, or door actuator circuits, run the door calibration function by performing the following: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the blower control to off. 3. Press the EBL mode switch down, turn the blower control on, wait until the EBL LED starts flashing (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the mode switch. Wait approximately 90 seconds for the calibration process to run to completion before proceeding.
Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn the ignition on.
Operate all functions of the system that caused the original concern. If a repair or module replacement was done to the power windows, operate the motor fully down and then to the full up position and stall it for 2 seconds.
With the scan tool, select ECU View and check for DTCs in the modules.
Perform this step only if diagnosing faults related to the MTC HVAC system.
NOTE: The A/C status indicator displays active DTCs when the EBL status indictor is not illuminated and stored DTCs when the EBL status indicator is illuminated.
Perform the following to read DTCs from the MTC: 1. Turn the blower control on. 2. Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait until both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C mode switch. 3. Read the DTCs from the flashing A/C status indicator.
Are DTCs present in any of the modules or is the original condition still present?

Yes

The repair is not complete. Refer to the related category for the DTC or symptom that is still present.
No

The repair is complete.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Thank you. The front TIPM was replaced also the Steering Column Module. I guess I could try replacing the actual lever switch the turn signal switch that encompasses the windshield wiper and turning signal as well as high beams.

My problem is pretty much the same, my car sat for a while maybe 3-6 months before I replaced the alternator and the battery but after that the radio, wipers, horn and turn signal did not work. I was able to replace a fuse for the radio but still the wipers, horn, and turn signal are not working. I have since replaced the multifunction switch and the clock spring but still no fix. Is there anything else you can suggest?

DBATTLE, could you please post what your vehicle is so we can look at the wiring to determine which circuits are connected.
