Exclamation need electrical help!

i just recently purchased a g500 and on the way back home, a 10 hour drive...the controls on the driver's door for the seats and the windows only work intermittently. The door light on the bottom of the door also flickers when the door is open. At night the illuminated buttons for the windows also flicker. In addition the window controls in the other doors also only work intermittently. I thought it might be a ground problem...anyone else have any experience with this problem..thanks in advance

What year model? The 2002's and early 2003's are known to have lots of electrical gremlins. There is a TSB on the voltage regulator; although I don't have any more details than that. Your local MBUSA dealer can look it up.

Go to an MBUSA dealer and see if the Voltage Regulator Campaign has been done to the truck. If not, have it done; and it'll probably solve most of your problems.
