Weird car behaviour
I know that my car can get weird behaviors and I have to use the diagnosis tool to fix them.
But I don't know exactly what to input.

I noticed that my car starts to "Move a bit forward, hork the horn, switches lights on/off" whenever I get OUT of the car and move around to loot.

I do have that "Auto-Park" tool, I am leaving the engine on when I go out... not sure what other details to give you.

Any idea how to run the tests?

Thanks

The test is do everything until something repeatedly happens. Then you make a guess in the terminal. You can take a hint if you want. But it will cost you some Anchor Energy. Otherwise it tells you when you get something right.

Junctions will sometimes have specific conditions that have more generalized effects. One of them is called "Turncoat" and it makes your car kinda try to hurt you when you get out of it by driving around. It isn't very dangerous but it probably drains its battery and uses gas while moving around.

If it is happening in every junction you should just check if you have any undiagnosed quirks when you get back to the garage and try to diagnose them.

Yea... probably that was just some junction condition. But I have another one that I can reporduce.

Whenever I turn the wipers ON, the fuel gauge also moves left/right. I also can't seem to diagnose this :(

This. Yesterday I went to my first junction with Turncoat as a condition and the same exact thing happened to me, I'm sure that's OP's problem.

To me the effect of Turncoat is hilarious, it looks like a yandere personality applied to the car: it gets hysterical because you're leaving it, even for a few seconds, and actively hurts you in order to stay close to you.
This behavior can also be dangerous if you leave the car in an area with many anomalies, as it may decide to drive into one of them by trying to follow you.

in 3rd column look for "DASHBOARD" and in 4th column something like "FUEL GAUGE BREAKS".
To diagnose quirks when you have energy for hints you must manually save beforehand, then use energy for hints, after you know what the quirk is you just reload your save thus restoring your energy and fix the quirk you already know.

Wipers -> Switches On -> Dashboard -> Fuel Gauge Fails

I get fail on all the tests :/

The Remnant may start acting like a loving pet with separation-anxiety, starting in the Mid Zone. It can get significantly worse/cuter in the Deep Zone.
