The 2 times it did it on it's own it was during the night and during HUGE THUNDERSTORMS, so my interior was soaked. So I replaced the driver's window switch and it fixed the problem. Then a few weeks later the driver's window wouldn't roll down, nothing would happen. It still does that. All other windows work (when using window roll down function from keypad the pass window goes down but not the driver's). So I've been living with that for a few weeks and I'm trying to get the encouragement to do it because I'm lazy. So this past Sunday me and two friends go to Shreveport, Louisiana to try our hands at some riverboat gambling. We park the car at the hotel and go get some sleep, a huge thunderstorm comes through an hour or so before we woke up. The storm actually woke us up a few times because of the thunder. So we wake up 1.5 hours or so later and go out to the car. The car's keyless entry pad would NOT work. No beep, no function, no nothing. Ok, fine, I use the key, a double turn operates all doors like normal, all windows work except driver's, etc. So we leave Shreveport and get home and the keyless entry pad works perfectly and everything. It has worked normally since Sunday. So last night on the way home from racquet ball and basketball I'm on the highway, 160 miles on this tank, crusing at 75 or so. I glance at the gauges like all good drivers do periodically, and I see my fuel gauge dropping. Hmm, either somethings screwy or I have a massive fuel leak. I check the rear view and see no spillage. I watch the gauge flow down to 2-3 mm PAST empty (all the way down). Then it floats back up to solid E (no fuel warning light, BTW). Stays there for 10-15 seconds then goes back down. Ok, I think to myself, let's see what I can do. So I slow to around 55 and go with the 'ole warm-up-the-tires race car maneuver, Nascar and F1 style. I do that for like 10 seconds back and forth, to stir up the tank. Then the gauge starts rising slowly to the half-tank mark, where it should be. All this morning, it worked fine (for the 30 mile trip) Isn't that some wierd stuff? Jeez I can't wait to fix all of it! I love electrical stuff! *sigh* -=Kaleb=-
Ok, so a few months ago I had this issue with my driver's side window putting itself down electrically, then the entire power window system not working, then starting to work again all the sudden. The window rolled down 3 times. 2 of those times I didn't see it roll down. The one time watched it, just the driver's side, and it was just like I was rolling the window down but I didn't.
