This happened in my 07 stick one time (knock on wood) too. Luckily at a slow speed, the whole thing just went dead, all electrical, engine, etc. Started back up fine, hasn't happened since, 4 yrs ago. Mine was bone stock at the time....

I had opposite issue today. Wipers came on, horn came on and wouldn't go off, doors locked and wouldn't unlock unless forced. Pulled over turned key off and pulled out and nothing shut off including engine. Put key back in turned it over and everything stopped. Working fine now except check engine light now on.

It would be hard to diagnose unless you can recreate the problem.

This happened to me and I reseated my battery terminals. Hasn't happened again.

This was a known problem with the 07. If it never went into the dealer for a new flash it needs it. Nothing you do to it will fix the glitch, it has to receive a flash to correct the programming.

x2, this happened to me too on the highway. tightened up my terminals and never happened again. did your gauges and stuff flash like it could have been battery related or just off?

Yes. If you haven't taken the time you should run to the dealer and have them check for recalls and do a re-flash. There have been several re-flash updates for 07's that I know of.
