My car is currently in winter storage and has been for some while. As it stands there Im doing some interior improvements.Today I needed the door panels off, and thus needed to get my windows down. As my battery was dead from not beeing charged in the cold I hooked the battery up to a battery charger. As I turned the charger on I heared a buzzing sound coming from the top rear corner of the driver side door. Thought it was werd but I just needed 2 secs of power to get the windows down. As I turned the ignition (from off to aux) the whipers whent crazy and wiped at max speed eventhough the selector was on off.
I hurried to turn the ignition off and turned the charger off. As soon as the charger was off I returned to the car and smelled/saw smoke in the interior. Now Im sure that it was probably the battery that caused some sort of sourge so that is removed from the car, but with a new battery (already charged) I get the same behavior with the wipers and the smell. Am I screwed? my worst fear is that the ECU is damaged and no longer usable. Any tips appriciated. Where should I start looking? Is it something I can do or should I get it to my local nissan dealership ?
