Intermittent fault. If I take off parking brake when starting the car or sometimes when I hit a big bump in the road. The warning light for the parking brake comes on (half as bright as normal). Then I have no lights, windshield wipers or internal fan. I restart the car and all is good until next time. Any ideas?
Viwing wiring diagrams to see what these thing's share , B+ voltage supply or maybe a control module ,such as a BCM - body control module etc..... It does sound like faulty wiring or maybe a loose connection . People on here can only give suggestions , ultimately it's going to take someone who is knowledgeable in automotive electrical trouble shooting to diagnose this problem . Do you know anything about automotive electical circuit's ? What a wiring diagram is an how to read one ?

I had a similar problem with my 2000 Jeep TJ and I found the problem in the wiring harness under the hood.several wires were corroded and almost burnt off.If you remove the black tape which keeps the harness bundled together and if you see evidence of "green" type powder or "gook" it's most likely where the wires have faulted.

You have to get CV Boots replaced, this happens because they split. What happen was something got stuck inside the axel where the little boots is held on and split that little piece of rubber (its easy to do). As a result, fluid leaks and and spashes on the back tires so you never know it happens. When you make turns the car will make a clicking noise. You can add fluid but, it will continue to leak out if those boots are split so, you have to replace the boots. I had to replace the boots and axel because the boots come on the axel. Its an expensive project. Boots, axel and labor $500 starting if you go through the dealer. Also, if you have an extended warranty they won't cover it because there is no time frame when these boots split it just something that can happen. Honestly, they know this is something common especially if you drive through snow.

Check your taillight bulbs. Usually the interior accessories are connected to the taillight circuit as a warning system for when your laillight or breaklight bulbs are blown

Parking brake is on half lit and I don't have lights, blower, or wiper power. i can still use my brights(by holding the stick in) but blower and wipers still don't work.

the big bump would suggest a loose connection possible at the ignition switch. the parking brake is odd though
