2005 z71 crew 3.5 liter
So I've had this Colorado since Nov 2011. It was a great truck until last year these little problems started popping up. I would occasionally check this site and 355 nation and see that these are just "common problems" alot of them more less just annoyances that I could live with. Now im ready to drive this thing off a cliff! Here is a list of what's going on Im not sure if its all related or if these trucks are really just that shitty.
Aftermarket head units shuts on/off intermittently. Never had a chime box or whatever. Ran an RAP mod since the day i bought it.
A/C blower works intermittently. Its all or nothing. Not like i see a lot of people say it only works on high. All setting either work or don't.
Door controls (windows, locks, etc) on driver door work intermittently. When they do work drivers window is just crappy. I'm assuming sticky regulator but it only works while pushing down on the window.
Gas cap light come on about every other time I drive and tends to go on and off the whole time.
Ive tried unplugging both bcm and pcm and letting it sit over night. Tried resetting truck by unhooking battery overnight. Also pulled off the ground junction under the air intake and cleaned and checked all connections.
So other than saying these trucks are just all around a waste of money can anyone help me out here?
Sorry to knock these trucks for those of you who really are "fans", but this thing has done nothing but prove to me Ive always bought Fords for a reason LOL
