Wil guess that your battery connections aren't clean.

The subject sounds like the makings of a tv show.

Hi There,
Check for loose or corroded connections at the battery.Next have the battery load tested. Auto Zone does this free of charge.

1st check to see if your windows and doorlocks and seat memory work while the problem persists.

2nd check your codes and write them down.

3rd check your passenger footwell for wetness. if your ac condesor drain gets clogged, it will drip into your footwell and saturate the electronics under the footboard cover.

4th go to C5 tech and read thru Bill Curlees sticky on electrical issues. It will be very helpful. I say to do this 4th because you will need to know the aformentioned information prior to reading thru the sticky to help you find the info you are looking for.

I am dealing with a similar issue right now that i believe i have 95% resolved, only cost so far, getting my car towed back to my house from my chiropractors office.
