Do you ever have random electrical trickery that just appears.... and then disappears...

Earlier in the year, for no apparant reason my headlamps, when on dip, would switch off...and on... and off... I cleaned the connectors, wiggled around, replaced bulbs.... still the problem continued until just before the summer... it went away!

My starter went through a 3 month period of the solenoid jamming... it got to the point where 5 times in 10 she wouldn't start. Since the National... problem gone away...

I randomly lost all the speakers on the left side of the car. Reset the head unit, problem solved...

Yesterday all the buttons on the head unit stopped working. CDs played fine you just couldnt control the volume or anything. Cleaned the connections with a bit of vodka... problem solved.

how RANDOM!!!
