all problems stem from this overlooked cause that i found
THERE IS A MAJOR WIRE HARNESS RUNNING UNDER THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND SPARK PLUG IGNITIN MODULE. IT IS WRAPPED WITH A PROTECTIVE MATERIAL WHICH CAN TRAP WATER. THIS WATER CAN EVENTUALLY HEAT UP ENOUGH TO THE POINT IT BOILS OFF THE PROTECTIVE COATING OF THE INDIVIDUAL WIRES IN THE MAIN CLUSTER, WHICH IN TURN, SHORTS OUT ALL KINDS OF STUFF DUE TO ARCHING AND OVERLOADING CIRCUITRY AND SUCH CAUSING ERATIC FAILURES. I SHOULD MY FRIEND AT A DEALER AND THEY WERE LIKE WOW! YEAH, I WENT TO ENGINEERING SCHOOL AND DO MY OWN AUTO MAINTAINENCE/REPAIRS/MODS. NOTICED ON MY DAD'S 2006 TC THAT THE WIRE HARNESS FOLLOWS A NEW PATH. YES I'M THAT GOOD! ;)
