Default BAD COMPUTER?
Here's the deal:
At about 2:00 P.M. today i noticed my outside temp. guage wasn't working and since then my climate control has been consistantly turning off then going to full power at a consistant rate, my blinkers don't work(hazards do), my windshield wipers don't work, headlights don't work and I smelled a burning smell at one point! Any ideas at all? thanks!

Pull the knee boltster on the driver's side, and find the source of that burning smell.
