I have a 1995 3/4 ton 6.5TD Chevrolet Suburban. I have begun experiencing weird electrical problems. The door locks are intermittent, the electric seat will not adjust. The remote will not lock the back door. The clock on the radio resets, but we don't loose stations that are preset. Becoming increasingly difficult to start.

I recall two potential things from years gone by:
1) Grounding issues
2) My dealer indicating that they had, had issues with Fuse centers on a number of trucks.

Does any of this sound familiar? Suggestions?

THis is the second 6.5 I've had the only issue I ever had with the other was the PMD.

two things come to mind as soon as i read your post, first, the ignition switch. 95 models really have a tough time with the ign switch.
second, the under hood fuse panel has a large power feed wire that bolts to a stud on the side, at times this nut will work loose and cause all sorts of problems.
If that wire is clean and tight, i would check batt cables, and eng grounds. if all looks good, it may be time for the ign switch.
