Electrical gremlins?

[RX8ETR]

I have noticed over the past few days a couple of electrical hangups and was wondering if anybody else was experiencing the same thing?

#1: Every once in a while the passenger seat will not move up when the seatback is folded forward.

#2: This weekend the trunk would not release. Neither the keyfob nor the switch would release it. Locked or unlocked. I had to start the car, then hit the switch. After that everything worked fine.

Seems like there was something else but now I can't remember. I'll have to check with the wife.

I'm also curious if anybody with the grounding kit has noticed whether it helps to iron out glitches like this?

Waijai - Any feedback from customers?

I don't think the grounding kit will iron those out. I have had the seatback not move, and also the other day, the a/c,compass and external air temp panel lights started to flicker and display unintelligible info for a few seconds, and then corrected itself.

my dual climate control didn't display the passengers side temp. after driving for a while it appeared. this had happened twice. there was no passenger in the seat, but it shouldn't do this right? My car is not even 3 weeks old.

[RX8ETR]

No, it should display all the time.

I have had no electrical problems as of yet. *crosses fingers*

WaiJai, do you think it's because you have the grounding kit? Try and control the salesman inside of you. I'm going to get one of your kits the next time I see you, just curious if it will help any other electrical problems.

2003Z - Do you have a grounding kit?

I don't have a grounding kit and have not experienced any electrical issues yet...crossing fingers, too.

[WaiJai]

I don't think a grounding kit would really solve the glitches you're experiencing. I never had any problems pre-grounding kit either. *triple crosses fingers*

I'll be bringing a bunch of grounding kits to the meet next weekend.

I am an idiot, I just realized that when you put the climate control on winsheild defrost, the dual temperature function goes away (which makes perfect sense). That is why I thought my passenger temp gauge was going out. Maybe I need to read my manual.
