I'VE GOT A 97 THAT SEEMS TO HAVE A GHOST IN IT.

1. WHILE PARKED, THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL ADJUST ITSELF NOW AND THEN.

2. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME ITS COLD OUTSIDE.
I HAD THIS FIXED ONCE TO THE TUNE OF A NEW UNIT @ $1800.00

TAKING IN FOR CODE CHECK THURS.

ANYONE HAVE PROBS WITH THESE???

I had the same issues with my 97. Changed the switch on the side of the driver seat and it worked fine.

I didn't have traction control lights going on and such. Is the switch clean? If you spill a coke on it it will malfunction.

You have a case of the "FLOATING CHASSIS GROUNDS!

I had the "EXACT" same problems on my 98! It will only get progressively worse! My electrical problems became so bad that I could not drive the car!

Here are some preventative maintance actions that you can do to try to fix the issues.

I made this post a while back. It has helped many Forum members fix their Ghost!!!

If I can provide any further info, all you need to do is ask.
