I so bad wanted to make a smart *** comment about your problem but i wont.

This might sound weird but,,,open BOTH doors and shake the rubber accordion tubes that connect the door to the door frame. Then see if the issue is gone. if it is, i have a fix for you.

I could not come up with something other than DIC. I can hear everyone on here cracking up.

I did try shaking the tubes. Should i remove the tube somehow?

Bill I just bought a 2002 Base model. The previous owner told me that the Driver Information Center was intermittent. Well, right now it is completely off and after trying your "shake the accordion tubes" suggestion there has been no change. Any suggestions?
