Heater knob kills headlights and DIC

Something strange started happening in my GTP yesterday. This isn't consistent but when I adjust my the switch up or down for the blower motor my DIC shuts off and reinitializes itself and my headlights go out. If I reposition the switch the lights will come back on. My setup may be a little unique because I have an HID kit with the DRLs disabled. I also have a remote starter installed. When the issue occurs I hear a clicking sound coming from under the drivers side dash. I just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar issue. I am going to disconnect and reconnect the remote start to try and reset it. I also have another brain with the same wiring harness that I may swap out. As always thanks for all the info and happy holidays.

Andy

Re: Heater knob kills headlights and DIC

Check to make sure the remote start is not causing the issue and all battery cable and connections/terminals. Based on your symptoms you may have a flaky ignition switch and harness assembly. When the contacts carbon up you get either arcing or a resistor effect which causes a voltage drop of the 12 volt supply to the accessories like headlights, DIC and HVAC.
