Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) having issues. Horn, radiator fan and wipers start up randomly without the key in the vehicle. Tried replacing the relays within the TIPM which fixed the horn and fan, but the wipers don't work properly. Bought a used TIPM from another 2007 model, but vehicle will not start with it. All other functions work properly on that TIPM, so the issue is definitely isolated to the TIPM. Ordered a remanufactured unit 5 months ago, it is still on backorder. A new unit is $475+ when you can find it. Not happy.
