Duke:
I have memories of a similar occurrence in an early production 91. Unfortunately, my memory is stale because it happened over ten years ago, and the problem was quite difficult to diagnose. If you can supply some more information, I may have some records that might assist your dealer.
1. During the first and second instances when the warning lights came on and you took the vehicle to the dealer, did the dealer "jump" the service connector in the passenger side foot well? Did he record the error codes from the computer? Do you know what codes were found?
2. During failure number three, I interpret your comment that you lost power while you were in motion. Is this correct?
3. Does "losing power" mean the engine quit (died) or was it still running, albeit poorly.
4. Was fuse ALB 2,3 "blown" (open circuit), or were you merely pulling it out and replacing it with a fresh one.
5. What is the vehicle id number (VIN?
Let me know and I'll see if I can give you some hints.
For your information, fuse ALB 2,3 supplies power to the traction control memory and to the ALB system. Taking it out and reinserting it may be equivalent to "rebooting" a computer that has become locked because of an operating system fault or other system failure.
The TCS and ALB are inter-related which makes diagnosis a pain. For example, the systems share the speed sensors at each wheel for input data.
