It started today on my way to college, took a pothole and the pop-up lights went on and off I also noticed the interior light went on and off too.
I heard some sort of clicking noise coming from the driver side dash, at the left side of the steering wheel sounded like a relay.
Reason I ask is because I'm in college, dont have a lot of time to fix it and it's my only car so I need any help that would speed up the diagnose. Also I'm still thinking what could cause the pop-up lights and interior lights to go on.
Could someone point to any grounding points? Possible relay causing problem or anything I should look at? I dont want the problem to get worse or maybe find the car burning one day.
Lights go on when taking a pot hole.
Re: Lights go on when taking a pot hole.
You could unhook one of your battery cables when you're not driving the car... just until you have more time to investigate the problem. My guess is its probably a bad relay or a ground (like you mentioned). I dont think its a short because you would probably be blowing a fuse or two if it was.
I still disconnect my battery when I'm not using it; not that it needs to be disconnected just a habit now.
How big are the potholes/ bumps youre driving through? maybe its just the vibration causing the contacts of the lights to touch momentarily?

Re: Lights go on when taking a pot hole.
you need to trace down some wires. sounds like something has come undone, check under the dash for loose connectors. or just avoid pot holes
