Is it me or has this happened to anyone else ???
I was driving on the highway yesterday.
Nothing special, and I wasn't kicking the Marauder hard.
I got off an exit ramp and halfway down the ramp the CEL comes on.
I was coasting at about 40 mph.
About a second later the CEL light goes out.
The engine stalled, the Traction Control light came on for a second and went out.
The LOW FUEL light came on and went out after a second.
My speedometer needle starting bouncing between 20 and 40 MPH.
I dropped it into NEUTRAL and tried to start it and nothing happened.
I didnt' even get a starter click. I tried it again and still nothing.
All the time, I was driving with my headlights on and the dash lights never blinked once.
As I slowed to a crawl, I tried the start the Marauder again
and it fired up as if nothing happened.
I put it back into Drive and drove off.
The locks cycled to lock the doors and everything has worked fine.
The time span of all of this ? Maybe 30 seconds.
One thing I want to note is that my turn signals have not been canceling
for the last week or so.
I may need to have the Multifunction switch replaced.
I don't think the switch has any bearing on what happened.
Was I hit by an EMP ?
Did I pass through a wormhole ?
Did a rift open on the exit ramp ?
I dont' know where to begin to look for what could have caused this problem.
My battery is only a little more than a year old.
The Marauder has just turned 80,000 miles, and I think I have released
'the end of the Emissions Warranty' Gremlins...
