WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPS WORKING (NO POWER) DURING RAINSTORM. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO CHANGE LANES TO THE SHOULDER IN THE RAIN WITHOUT WIPERS. SLAMMING HOOD STARTS WIPERS AGAIN. ALL GAUGES (SPEED, TACK, GAS ETC) EITHER GO FULL ON/OFF OR STOP AT 1/2 ACTUAL SPEED/ RPM WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON. AT THE SAME TIME, THE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. POUNDING ON DASH SOMETIMES RETURNS THE GAUGES. TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-STARTING CORRECT THE GAUGES/LIGHTS BUT NOT THE WIPERS. CAR IS AT DEALERS FOR REPAIR AND THEY CAN NOT FIND PROBLEM(S).*JB
