This sounds like standard fusebox problems.. I've got the same thing on my
rocco.. The connections on the back of the fuse box (connector A or 1
usually) get rusted from a leaky window or just old and burned from a power
input right near there. Potterman knows a lot about this, check w/ him.
I've had problems w/ brake lights before that were traced to this, also my
parking lights.
wiggle the wires at the back left side of the fusebox as a preliminary check
