When I'm not delivering buses, I still moonlight as the dispatcher at my local transit company. Lately we've had a mysterious issue plaguing 2 of our 3 2006 Ford E450/Coach and Equipment buses (They're equip'd with the Powerstruggle 6.0L) Most of the time, they drive fine, everything works great, but out of the blue everything (gauges, radio, front heater fan... essentially anything to do with the chassis) will just shut off, and the DRIVERS dome light will come on, as if the door is opened. The engine will continue to run, and you can drive it normally, the turn signals even continue to work. And as quick as it comes, it goes back to normal. I've taken both buses to the garage multiple times, and they haven't figured it out yet.

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this issue, and has any input.

Thanks

Also, during one of my trips with one of these buses, I was stopped at a light and the bus actually kicked into HIGH IDLE (they have Intermodal or whatever high idle controllers) just thought I'd add that.
