What is your question?
Hello, I have a weird issue. Sporadically, my car does nothing when I turn the key. The LED displays (mileage, etc), will even go out. The power is not restored until I open and close the door. Then it will crank as usual. I noticed it first when It was raining and it happened again just today, but it goes weeks/months rain or shine with no indecent. Can anyone tell me a good way to get this fixed. I went to the dealer and they said to keep driving it until it becomes more constant/consistent. Please help.
What makes this problem better or worse?
opening and then closing the car door
How long has your 2003 Ford Escape had this problem?

These types of issues are tough especially when you aren't working on the car in person. It could be a bad ground, faulty control unit and a few other electrical issues. Unfortunately, this needs to be duplicated with a tech present. If you want to get a second opinion use this link to find a good shop near you. https://repairpal.com/repair-shops Alex
