I have a 1996 GMC Jimmy. I bought her new and have put 127,000 + miles on her. She is a gem. However, for the last 27,000 miles the electric windows have been acting up. The front passenger window will sometimes cause the dome light to flash when it is going up or down, and sometimes the dome light stays on (have had a drained battery from this). The driver window will sometimes "stick" so that is doesn?t go all the way up. Not fun when it starts raining. Both problems work themselves out and then start again at random. Now to add insult to injury, her gauges are acting up. Her oil pressure gauge will drop when I?m sitting at a stop light, and pick up again when I accelerate. The temperature gauge will climb past 210 and then drop to 150 (I don?t think the temperature could drop that fast if I lived in the Arctic even). I?ve talked to several mechanics as I don?t trust the people at my dealers shop (they screwed me once, and won?t get a second chance), and they are all puzzled. I figure it has to be a bad fuse, or relay or something. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. (Not all Jimmy?s are lemons, mine?s just sick)
