talking about weird problems....

[Mitchell S. Haskins]

Yet another weird problem...

My right front power window has an intermittent problem.  Sometimes, when I 
put it down, it won't go back up.  Doesn't matter which switch is used.  If 
I let the car sit for a while with the engine off, it will work 
normally...Could it be grounding out somewhere?

... on the V8 the instrument cluster has OBD built in ... check:

... run the test that verifies the function of the fuel gauge ... if the
test fails it is the gauge ... if the test passes it is in the connection 
to
the sender or the sender itself.  One thing that may indeed be true is that
it is a interconnect on the IC itself ...

HTH!
