Electrical problems
My 02 Z is driving me nuts! It is fine then all of a sudden lights start flashing, the air turns off the radio won't work, windows won't roll up or down and it says reduced power? I pull over and shut it off and found out if I slam the door and start it up everything is fine?
What do I need to replace to make this stop? Anyone have an idea???
Thanks for your help in advance!

Lots of posts about this common problem and a really good thread by Bill Curley with diagrams and instructions about how to repair the connections at the junction where the wire harness goes between the driver's door and fender.......basically just pull the accordion boot from the fender and you can access the offending connector....pull it apart, clean the connections etc.....you can grab the harness and wiggle it sometimes as a quick temporary fix....do a search for Bill's posts and you will find all the info you need...
