i cant really recall what exactly i did to make this happen, but here goes...
my problem, ok, my dome light doesnt work, not that the bulb is bad, but that it just wont ever turn on, the switch for some reason will sometimes lock and unlock the doors... when the door chime comes on like it should, it doesnt chime, its like a sound trying to come out due to little power, then dings, and as it does that, the clock dims as it were not getting power, then back to full brightness, also, whenever i open my door, the clock always resets to 1:00, only when i open the door though.... when i buckle my seat belt, the light on the clock also flickers in brightness, its weird.... my alarm also doesnt always unlock the doors when i disable the alarm, and the door trigger doesnt activate, so it makes the extra chirp saying the door isnt closed.... i dont know what to do, all seems well, and i really noticed it after i was messing with the sunroof, but i didnt do anything with the wiring other than disconnect the motor.... ive got no idea whats wrong, anyone got any ideas?

posible grounding issues, also may have a short in a few wires because of it, causing the intermittant issues. lot of work a head of you looking though wires to get it all fixed sorry to say.

cwm13.gif look for bare or exposed wiring and test the strength of the battery and alternator while your at it.
