Default my car learned a new trick :doh:

well...some are probably aware that my stereo system has been acting up, random battery drains etc...

well friday i found my car learned a new trick on its own..... turn the parking lights on, all 4 windows roll down a couple inches.... turn head lights on...all 4 roll all the way down....

now the windows are supposed to do that via a button combo on my alarm remote... but not with the head light switch....

yet another issue to track down

could be worse....... your car could be some strange reincarnation of knight rider, the slow boxy edition and have the voice of a drunk david hasselhoff.....

hope you track down the gremlins... electronics ones are always a pain in the ****...

LOLOL Ok it's not funny when it is you...but watching that would be pretty hilarious....your car is totally possessed man.

My hubby took his tercel in to get the starter replaced...he was thinking he needed a tune up too cuz the car would keep stalling. Well when he took the car in for the starter they found a crap load of dog food in the air filter compartment. Apparently the mice or squirrels around here were going up the radiator and putting the dog food in the air filter area...it was full except for the area occupied by the air filter. Some little creature is gonna be ____ED this winter LOL.

The guy at the shop called him because he thought it was a joke. Next time we go in...we are thinking of putting a note in there...Shopping List. Squirel traps, mouse traps...don't forget the dog food.

Are you sure that its not an autobot taking over your car? Make sure you check and look for a transformer eblem on your car.
