Default Quirky Electronics

I have a 2003 Coupe with 19,000 miles, and occasionally I notice that the electronics seem to be acting up. One time the parking lights weren't coming on when I unlocked the doors with the remote. When I took it into the Chevrolet dealer, they couldn't find anything wrong. Another time, the power seat on the driver's side wouldn't go back. A day later, it worked fine and has been working fine since. One day the passenger side window wouldn't go down. The next day, it was working fine and no problems since. Anybody know what might be going on?

my 2000 coupe has similar issues as stated by scubadiver4u.

so is it really just a dying battery, or are there ghosts in the machine?

if it works for a while, then not for a minute, then back to working for a while, well, i get confused.
