99 EB Going nuts!!!!!!!!
Hi,I need help with my 99' Exp.

I'm sorry, it appears that I didn't finish... we tend to look at the GEM (Generic Electronics Module), which should be on top of your fuse panel (the one under the steering wheel). Generally, water gets to it through a windshield leak and crazy (full moon type of) things start to happen.

Mine did many of those things for several days then my battery died. Replaced the battery and all the demons have apparently been exorcised and that was a couple of months ago. Last time I had to replace the battery (about 3 years ago) it was preceded by wildly fluctuating gauges. YMMV

Ok people check this out , I talk to an electronic tech. and he told me that sometimes the GEM on a car stays "on", like energized, so I disconnect the fuse that work for the radio and the GEM and presto!, the problem is gone, hopefully is fixed forever.
