2001 DII 70k exhibiting some strange behavior lately.

Symptom 1: Left rear window stopped working temporarily. I had been adjusting side mirrors. The next day - and for last 2 weeks, it has been fine.

Symptom 2: Turned key to start but made strange noise and didnt turn over. I thought I was in twilight zone. Reinserted key, turned it, and everything worked. The clock time was wrong. This now happens about 50% of time. Clock time always wrong.

Any ideas?

 

Are you on your original battery? Clean and tighten the cable then go to your local auto parts store and see what your voltage is, should be between 13.6 and 14.4 volts.

 

Yes original battery. I will give that a try and let you know.

 

Brushed up battery connections (they seemed ok), and reconnected battery. Everything seems fine for several days. Maybe it was just loose grimy cables?

Thanks.

Still need advice on leaking/hissing noise where right rear air suspension pipe connects to valve in compressor housing.

Neither the right nor the left air pipes tighten up snug, and I am reluctant to just keep tightening. Should they snug up rock solid into valve? Is there anything in the brass air pipe fitting besides the little o ring? Perhaps some additional washer I lost?
