I'm in the same boat, my dome light will come on sometimes ususally for about 2 weeks after i run it through a car wash. If i grab the little knob and twist it or pull it it will work, but its just drit as far as i can tell.
Maybe thats why my headlights really suck...mmm i''m gonna go check my halogen fluid right now. And i guess that answers the question about my bad gas milage, someone must have lifted my 2 transmistions off of me just before winter cause MAN my gas milage sucks right now.
It's all about the battery, i had alot of trouble last year untill i put a new battery in. This year i havent had a problem, it starts right up everytime and i leave it outside all the time.
Look at how the seat belts work, it looks like a cotter pin that just goes into the hole in the seat....i guess the old design was to confusing for some of the less gifted drivers
