Hey guys-

My car seems to have a mind of its own, which is totally cool.
However, It would be really nice if I could see my dashboard/radio at
night. The lights come and go on thier own.... sometimes not working
for weeks on end and then staying on for about 4 or 5 days. Sometimes
they flash for a few minutes (kind eerie) and sometimes I can pound on
the dash (SHHH!) and they'll work. I've read before that this is a
common problem? What can I do? Thanks!

Your car is learning to read!
It read an advertisement about being the "Thinking man's car" but has yet
to learn that the thinking's still for you to be doing!! Maybe it will
learn to read better, and the problem will be solved.

Alternatively - in the "not working" configuration, does your panel
resemble the highly touted "black panel" function, that we're supposed to
believe emulates an aircraft panel?

What I mean is - does it look like it's doing "black panel" when you
don't want it to, or is it just a stupid connection somewhere?
