Unhappy emergency lights flashing????

Hey guys, Just yesterday when I was driving around town in my TII, my emergency lights just started randomly blinking and would quit...and it's done this off and on, and is starting to really scare me, especially when I am in trafic, and they start going crazy!!!

along with this...today my horn has also decided to start going off by itself???

about thursday last week my clock, and cockpit celing light (and hatch light) wouldn't turn on...I had just thaught this had been just a fuse, but now all the other stuff is happining too

oh I probibly should also tell you that door, and hatch light in the dash won't turn off either, that happiend early last week, also.

What is happining to my TII?? thanks alot guys!

Either your car is possessed, or your CPU (not ECU) is fried. All the things that went haywire are controlled by the CPU. Strange they all went at once though...
It's probably the cold solder problem common to FC electrics.

Sounds like the CPU may have gotten wet. has it been raining in your area?

A small fortune from Mazda, but probably not much from a wrecker.

The CPU is near the driver's left ankle. If you’re handy with a soldering iron, it’s an easy fix.
