Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER TURN WAS MADE. I COULD NOT MANUALLY TURN IT OFF. ALL GAUGES BEGAN TO GO CRAZY. SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER REVOLVED FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER THEN SETTLED AT THE BOTTOM AND DID NOT REGISTER SPEED OR RPM. FUEL GAUGE SETTLED TO THE BOTTOM AND THE TEMP GAUGE DID THE SAME. ODOMETER WENT OUT (IT IS DIGITAL) AND THE VAN HEATER CEASED TO FUNCTION. IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES OR SO ALL GAUGES BEGAN TO GO CRAZY AGAIN AND THEY SETTLED BACK INTO A STATE WHERE EVERYTHING REGISTERED NORMALLY. THE HEATER CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS OUT. I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND WAS OUT OF THE VAN FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS AND RETURNED TO THE VAN TO GO HOME AND EVERYTHING STARTED UP AND WORKED NORMALLY ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. *TR
