The engine and transmission are working without any problem. So if the immobilizer get wet, the car does not turn, am I right or could be bad and still the car can run? I am driving the car and has not issue besides the electrical problem with the top and some components in the dash, like the heat and air conditioner. Also the seat belt stuck and I can not pull it out. So the part that I show in the pictures has nothing to do with my problems? I found the part in PET diagram and it said that is the control unit. Thanks in advance for your help

I could be wrong, I thought your engine was bad also. Ignition switches are known to go bad & cause multiple electric problems.

The unit in the picture is the seat memory control unit. The seat had memory for several different drivers and by selecting the saved setting the seat would position itself for that person. There should be 4 buttons on the door sill between the front and rear trunk open switches.

That what I thought, but I was not sure if that was part of the problem. Also I replaced the electrical part of the switch and nothing changed, so maybe I need to replace the complete key switch. What else do I need to look around for this problem? I checked all the fuses and they looked ok.

I think there is a way you might be able to re-vitalize the circuit board. I think I saw something on Pedros Board where you soak in a solution to clean the circuit board. I had water issuse but fortuantely the module was replaced before I bought the car. also my fuses were all corroded so I replaced them all.
