I have the same problem on my 2001 Silverado. I suspect a loose ground. When this occurrs can you rock truck back and forth and get it to go off. Benb449 More than likely the fuel level sending unit has gone bad, it is inside the tank and is a variable resistor connected to a float. Chevy and GMC trucks in to 99-2003 era have had a bad problem with this. The sending unit can be replaced apart from the pump but this is not a job for a beginner. My mechanic friend told me best to replace pump and sending unit at the same time. If you only replace sending unit, pump will usually fail soon after that creating extra expense.

Why do the windows on your 1999 Mercedes 320 roll up and down intermittantly?
You didn't indicate whether this problem happens while the vehicle is not moving as well as moving. My guess would be moving, meaning looseness in the window switch which causes contacts to close (touch) activating the window motor due to the vibration and up down motion of the vehicle.
