    OK.. hope this is it... I replaced all of the fuses in the engine fusebox, except the big breaker mains because I would have to order those and I didn't change the relays either, and replaced ALL the fuses in the driver door fusebox. It didn't do it a couple times then it started doing it again... *sigh*.

    So then I removed the washer fluid resevior, the main wire harness comes out of the fusebox and then up under and behind the resevior and goes into an even bigger main harness. I pulled that harness up over the resevior and to one side so not to block access to the resevior fill cap, and bolted/put everyting back together, because (to me), the only true test would be while driving on a bumpy road... and it didn't happen once... I was driving and hitting all the potholes on this dirt road subdivision I could drive over, turning **** on and off left and right up and down all over... I had every electrical thing on all at once and then kept flicking headlights on/off and it never happened again. Whew... If it starts again... I WILL make a new harness... nahhh just kidding... I'll go look for a new one in the junkyards...

    Thanks guys, for all the input.

    That happened to Anita, where the harness bundle comes through the bulkhead behind the headlight on the drivers side of the radiator.

    Also, check all ground connections...

    my guess would be DOUBLE check ALL grounds and if you have to, sand off paint and make sure they are making a great connection...
