For some reason i do not think this is correct for the Boost Preasure Solenoid.
Can anyone confirm please.

My Electrical Problems
New to the forum so "Hello" everyone....
My 2003 has been acting up.........
1. Speedo would stick at various speeds when car is shut off, Then next start would begin counting from that speed then each consectutive start would begin to read from a lower speed ( Example: would shut off car and speedo would be stuck sitting there reading say 50mph. Next time would drive car and 10mph would read 60, 20 reads 70, etc. Shut car off and speedo would lower to read say 35. Go out for drive 10mph would read 45, 20 reads 55, etc. Then couple drives later would finally make it'* way back to 0 and would be fine. Did this twice now in last 6 months or so. Presently OK.
2. (This is the main reason i'm here on this forum) Driver'* door control panel not responding. No windows, door locks, mirrors, nothing. Door lock will function using key fob. Other door'* controls are fine. From reading threads here I checked battery connections. Totally clean. Took off cleaned anyway, reconnected (to "reset" electrical system) No improvement. Looked at both fuse/relay blocks all looks fine. No sign of water damage under back seat. Took driver'* side kickboard off to inspect harness and ground buss. All looks as day it came out of factory. No sign of water damage so didn't cut into harness assy to actually see ground buss but have no reason to suspect internal problem. (No sunroof BTW) Haven't checked passenger side yet. And haven't gone into driver'* side door yet where people have mentioned a module to inspect. (Most likely suspect??)
3. (And of all I read here this one might be a first) I can disengage my cruise control while driving by signaling left or right. (NO, SERIOUSLY )
So far the other gremlins you guys have discribed have yet to find my vehicle.
