So ever since I purchased this vehicle, I have been having this random "Dash Reset". Theres no rhyme or reason to when or if it happens, it could be daily, or weekly. It does it once during the drive cycle, and wont do it again until the next day, or maybe week. The dash, and all accessories, headlights, tail lights, etc, turn off for a split second, and then back on. The engine and transmission are NOT affected. When I pull codes, I get none. But I had my emissions done recently, and it showed a loss of communication with CANBUS or something to that effect. It didn't affect me passing the emissions, so really didn't think anything of it, and it was the first time driving the car since I had bought it, so I didn't even think that it was relevant.
On the recommendation of another member here on the forums, I replaced the ignition switch over the weekend. And up until yesterday, that worked, until it didn't... I have read on other forums about people having similar issues, and hard wiring a connector under the throttle body fixed it for them. I don't have this connector as I have a rarer engine with the 3.6 High Feature. Wiring harness is on the other side of the engine bay, and is a completely different wiring harness. The other people that had this engine had the extremely more common 3400. On another forum I was reading that they had to redo the ground for the Tail Gate Module. But I will be damned if I can find the thing.
I will admit, I know very little about this truck. Although its the twin to my other car, My Wives Aztek, I have only ever had to do a tune up and oil change on it. And have not had to do anything more than an oil change and the ignition switch on the Rendezvous up to this point. I do have a NAV radio I am planning on putting in, but I wanted to get this dash reset sorted first.
Any help would be appreciated.
