FWIW, I had this problem in Memphis (and on the way home. oy.); wound up
being a bad ground connection near the passenger-side trailing arm. Easy
way to see if it's a bad ground? Connect jumper-cables to the negative
terminal on the battery and to a bolt inside the car that connects to
to the frame;; one of the bolts holding the passenger seatbelt to the
car worked for me, got me all the way home (and around town for the
next month. heh.) That's what I get for swapping my TABs a week before
the trip. Lesson learned. =)
