Not to make another dealership thread but cmon

So I finally got my car back after a month and a half(power steering rack was on backorder). So I was soooo excited to get it back, Mind you we are family with the owner of the dealership(kind of). I get it back and it was filthy for one. Not even washed? Cmon. Next up: Condensation in the tail lights. And third when I drive for a long period of time its like my cars radio and the lights on the dash reset themselves. Sorry if this all sounds so jumbled up but just need some insight on a few things

Never heard tell of such a problem. What is the health of your battery? Battery terminals tight and clean? What voltage is your alternator putting out when hot?

I'd pull all the interior fuses and replace them (same fuses, just remove and insert firmly), in case one is making intermittent contact...although that is a remote possibility.

Beyond that it seems you may have a deeper issue...is anything on the interior/under the dash non-stock or ever been monkeyed with?

if your going to spend the time to pull all the fuses, take some electrical contact cleaner and clean each slot. Be ready to reset the power steering.

Did you push on the face of the radio to ensure good contact.

How olds your battery, if you clean the contacts make sure you clean the terminals on the battery as well.

Be prepared for the fuel trims to reset so a little rough driving.

Look under your dash and make sure you havn't kicked anything loose or pulled anything off with your foot.

The battery should be new but I think they might have hit something when changing the power steering rack. I will be going to the dealership to get my tail lights fixed then ask them about it. Thanks a lot guys.
