Chasing an electrical gremlin, kinda thinking one of the circuit breakers in the fuse panel but I could be wrong. While driving, I lose power to a very specific set of accessories intermittently. Power always returns within a second or two, which is why I'm thinking a weak circuit breaker (NOT FUSE). At first I thought it was just the radio cutting out, but then I realized it was a couple more things all at the same time. Here's what I've been able to determine cuts out, again just for a second or two intermittently while driving:
Thanks,

At first I thought it was just the radio cutting out, but then I realized it was a couple more things all at the same time. Here's what I've been able to determine cuts out, again just for a second or two intermittently while driving:
- radio cuts out and light on display goes out (but NOT the clock, and I do NOT lose presets - clock stays on dim display)
- Wipers, stop dead (haven't managed to catch it with the rear wiper on yet so I don't know about that one)
- temp gauge
- fuel gauge (on the center console warning center, the "low fuel" light will come on when the gas gauge cuts out)
- No lights are affected, headlights, blinkers and dome light continue to function fine. Heater blower fan continues to run.
- On the console message center, my "washer fluid low" light is always on. When the power loss happens, this light goes out. It's the only time this light is ever out.
Thanks,
