AHC OFF light stays dimly lit after keys removed

[hidesertwheelin]

I even went back to check 45 min later and it was still dimly lit. When I noticed it, I was also having issues with my radio volume not going very loud and when I turned the temp dial to a high temp, I could hear a noise I had never heard before. Electrical gremlins?

Last weekend, the AHC wasn't working. This weekend it works.


Edit: just took it for a spin. Radio was really quiet until I drove a few blocks and then was back to normal. We just got a tone of rain, so maybe that was the issue? The AHC OFF light only comes on when the parking brake handle is pulled up. Also, the radio would turn to normal valume for a second when I hit the suspension up button. I'm assuming I have a short somewhere. Any ideas where to ever consider to start looking?

Old Thread to revive-but did you ever find out what the problem was? My AHC off light was lit dimly today after we had heavy rains. AHC worked fine with no issues.

Curious to know the problem. I think it has to be electrical with either a fuse or short in a wire somewhere. I cannot find any other info on the issue either.

Thanks

My $10 says water is getting in the fuse box area.

Thanks for the insight. I checked the fusebox and it is completely dry. Light is no longer dimly lit so it does sound like a moisture problem somewhere in the electrical connections for that dash light.

Normally connected with a changed windshield -- leakage onto ECU/plug.
