I'm having wierd electrical issues with my truck. If I press the window switches on the driver door, the dash resets, the trailer lights come on and my engine fan engages. Is there a common point where all these lines cross or could I have a ground issue? I've checked all the main ground lines and they're all tight. Both my mechanics and I are dumb founded.

I had some weird electrical issues with my 2007 Columbia.
After some serious head scratching I pulled my driver window switches out and turned them over and found out when the window was down part way in a light rain storm water had gotten in the switch and pooled in the bottom creating corrosion which caused all kinds of funky cross connections and back feeds.
After looking at the video I would say you have the same problem.ChicagoJohn Thanks this. -

Nope, changing the switch didn't change a thing. I'm almost certain I have a grounding issue. I just can't figure out where the problem is.

And did you check both door switches as the switches are tie together somewhat in the circuitry? -
Remove lower left kick panel. Check all 3 square connectors coming out of A pillar for corrosion. Must unplug all 3 and check inside plugs.
ChicagoJohn Thanks this. -
For some reason I think it's a crossed wire in the door. I turned the ignition off and the truck kept running until I closed the door, then it shut off. Things are getting weirder and weirder.
