Well the random things are all from the dashboard back.



Fuel pump shuts down then repairs itself, Stereo System post speakers, Security Alarm, and now one radio dash light bulb ...



and the fix is always the same.



Restart the engine, an idiot light goes out showing a problem with the right rear light assembly but there is no problem, restart and the problem appears with out the idiot light, and then it is fixed again once the buld makes contact with the rear light assembly.



Weird is not the right word for this ... I will have the boys check the battery cells, easy to do and it is free.



Next oil change, have them check the wire loom and computer codes.



Good job guys .. thanks.
