I have been having problems with my engine light coming on and off for some time now. It would come on for a while then go out then come on again then go out again. In July of this year I took the car for a diagnosis because the engine light was on but they told me I needed a tuneup which I got but the engine light came on a week later. Also my dashboard light has been going out and coming on also. It started by going out when I put my signals on to turn a corner it would go out then come back on now it goes out and sometimes it wont come on at all. I noticed if I pushed the light control switch in and hold it thats the only time it will stay on as soon as I let it go it goes out. Then now my taillights are out and I took it to a shop and they look at the fuses and try to see why I dont have any lights back there and they said they couldnt see why the lights were out. They said they would have to take the whole thing apart to see what is wrong with the car so thats when I came to the conclusion that there is some electrical shortage or something to do with the electrical system that is wrong with the car. I also see they had a recall on the car a year ago which I had no idea about.

I'm not sure it's the electrical system--that's what the dealer is telling me now. First, it was the alarm, then the fuel pump, then the fuel pump relay. This was after they had done "diagnostic" testing.

The wires from the headlight switch and turn signal stalk cracked from constant flexing. This is in the small loop just before the wires enter the steering wheel assembly. The initial affect was intermittent headlights going off when the turn signal was used. I spliced the wires once last summer, but it failed again. The red wire to the headlight relay is very thin. Luckily this happened both times near home. I saw similar consumer complaints on your database: 536495, 976418, 977383.
