Q: Warning lights stay on and wipers and lights won't work 2009 GMC Canyon

asked by on May 05, 2017

I have a 2009 gmc canyon with 217000 on it. When I start it up all the warning lights on the dash come on and stay on. It runs and drives great. The only other issue is that the wipers and headlights won't work. Any idea of what it could be?

My car has 217000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
