      I'm stumped!  I'll get straight to the point.  Both of the front
power windows are shot.  Sometimes they will roll down, sometimes not.
It's like you can roll them down and up just one time on a single trip.
You roll it down, back up and it won't go down agian.  At night, when you
try to roll it down I've noticed that the head lights and dash lights will
dim.  Like there is a short somewere.
     I've checked the window motor. It was good. Removed the driver side
switch and cleaned it even though it looked alright. I really wouldn't
want to look for every single ground wire on this vehicle. I would have to
turn this car inside and out.
     Also the Switch for the gas lid opener doesn't work all the time.
Every once in a wile I'll get lucky and it works. The manual latch in the
trunk works fine ofcourse.
     Another thing the driver side seat will not lean back all of the
time. Again, every once in a wile.  
     I really love this car alot. Even though its not the greatest car on
gas, it makes up for it with the comfortable ride, the look, and the power.
If anybody could help, it would really be greatly appreciated.
                                     Thanks Spinner

I will almost guarantee you will find the problem in the wiring harness
where it runs through the rubber acordian between the door and the a pillar.
Constantly opening and closing the door finally starts to break the wires.
And remember, all switching for all windows runs through the drivers door,
where the master switch is.  You can sometimes confirm this to be the
problem by opening the door while holding the switch.  As you start to open
or close the door the window will start to move (or stop).

On the gas door thing, mine crapped out as well, was the actuater at the
door itself.  Check for voltage at the actuater.

Have never had a problem with my seats, so don't have a guess for that.
