Sister's 2000 regal GS having crazy issues.....need help as to where to start

 

Here's what she told me happened.....

 

Driving normal without issues, then as she approached a stop sign, dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and car stalled. She started it back up and car was running rough but she drove it into a parking lot as it was running rough and making noises as if a relay was getting tripped.....car stalled again when she slowed down.

 

She then restarted it and when she put on the hazards, car went back to running smooth.....Hazards off: rough....on=smooth.....Because the car was running better with them on she was then going to try to drive it home, but no when she tried to put it in gear the car won't go out of park.

 

....I don't even know where to start looking for the cause of all this and would looking for some suggested starting points from the gurus here.

 

Thanks in advance for any/all help....

Well that certainly sounds like a crazy electrical issue...start off by checking the main grounds and go from there. Could also be the PCM/BCM...

yeah, that's a widespread issue... battery/battery cables/alternator would be the first 3 places i would look.

Thanks for the input.....any other suggestions as to where to start before I make a couple our drive to dig into it?
