ok I have a few electrical issues, not sure if they are related:

Radio resets each time key is turned off

"buzzing" sound from behind instrument panel when starting, lasts about 2 seconds

sometimes windows dont roll up last little bit when doors close, not consistent, just on occasion


I thought maybe it needs a new battery, any other ideas?

I'ld test the voltage on the battery but it sounds to me like a bad ground somewhere.

the sound from the gauges is the needles winding down. watch the needles after you shut it down. the sound stops when the needles stop.

my windows occasionally lose calibration as well, but i just reset them.

not sure on the radio issue.

As Bigcat says. My needles do the same. To reset your windows, hold the button down to lower and hold for 3-5 seconds till you hear a click, and do the same with going up.
