  1. Treated the ol' girl to a wash yesterday at the local self-serve spot. I'd have hand-washed her, but I'm in the middle of a major move/life change so I went for the closest alternative. Given the state of exterior on my particular example, I had no qualms about utilizing the foamy brush to scrub off some of the more stubborn mud and road grime. However, water leakage IS a concern. Early on, I became aware of very slight leaks at the top front corners of both the driver's and passenger's door windows when faced with high-pressure water or steady rainfall. The self-serve allowed me to control the volume/pressure of water directed towards the top of the windows. Low and behold: I found zero water droplets on the door panels afterwards. Of lesser note: fuel economy. To date, she's been treated to a fresh set of 225/60R16 Kumho LX Plat's, a set of NGK TR55's backed by ACD wires, a new accessory belt, and a fresh 10W30 oil change. Having owned several 3800 powered vehicles in the past (both NA and SC), I expected somewhere in the 19-21 MPG range. To my surprise, the math reported 22.3!

  2. I suppose so! I just never heard of a coil being intermittent like that. So strange.

  3. I considered bad splices, but according to the wiring diagrams the last splice in the chain is the one responsible for the majority of functions powered from fuse #2. The interior lights are first in the chain. I'll make sure to check for +12v at the dome light, and then ground. I wish it was as simple as a burnt out bulb, but having so many out at once makes that a long shot!

  4. I didn’t lose all interior lights but I lost the drivers door along with seemingly unrelated functions like the trunk latch and it turned out to be due to the under seat wire splices.
