Anyone got any answers Unless it is turning into a "christine" I would agree. Probably have to open her up & see where the intermittent short is. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I'm 99.999% sure it's the switch, since it mostly happens when I hit the turn signals or cruise or a really big bump... I would guess probably the same for you...
