So have you checked the fuse box etc, as this may be at fault. If okay then you may have a dry joint problem somewhere, but rather difficult to identify as it is intermittent. You have control modules fitted ie Lamp control also multi functional control module (central locking). You may need the assistance of a Auto electrician (not a mechanic) to look at this problem.
