Or a bad module .. I know in 92-99 they were called MALL or Body control modules.

Also check the floor boards for water..

Door switch might be another possibility.

Mark, I know we threw a bunch of stuff at you, but do check your floor for wetness, especially by the driver'* front seat and keep in mind that the other things mentioned may be involved. Even mild dampness could indicate water under the pad.

Have you had any other previous issues or problems that might be related?

The more you check things out and the more you tell us about things, the better chance that we can help.

Good idea! Also check for corrosion on those battery cables, even under the connection boots and at the engine and relay center. IIRC, Bill'* problems seemed to start shortly after changing his battery.

Agreed. In your checks, include checking all the bolts and screws around the under-hood fuse box and relay center. Silverbullet found the positive connection there to be loose which caused his car to die. Do the same to the connections under the back seat. Also check to be certain the hold-down screws are tight, as it apparently picks up a ground there.

Let us know what you find.
