Intermittent electrical problems are the toughest to solve, because they are intermittent (bad grounds, loose wires, cracked connectors (visibly okay, electrically not so much), failing relays, etc.). Dead short, not too bad, but can be time consuming. The hardest part in diagnosis sometimes, is locating an accurate electrical diagram. Pretty damn hard to get from here to there without a roadmap.
