Y2K Failout... :)

[Kirk Goins <kgoins@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well the AS/400 is fine, but my 91 Sonoma Pickup became possessed around 2:30pm 
PST on 1/1/2000.

I was driving down the road listening to the radio when it cutout. I waited a 
few seconds thinking it must be the station. It didn't come
back so I started pushing buttons, tried to go from FM to AM, change stations, 
pushed the on/off button and all it did was display the
correct clock time. Great the darn thing has died... Then I noticed that my 
dome light was on but the 2 foot lights were not. I checked the
door, yup it closed good, checked the dash switch for the interior lights and 
it was set correctly. I turned on the dome light with the dash
switch and it went off and the foot lights came on. I tried this several times 
and was the same every time. Now I notice the radio's clock
is at 1:00 and all the station presets are gone. Yup every time I cycle the 
dome lights it removes power from the radio and it resets. Over
the day or so I have compiled a list of Y2K NON COMPLIANT actions by my truck...

#1 Turning on the interior lights on turns on the foot lights(dome light does 
not go on) and resets the radio.
#2 Closing the door(not opening it) causes the radio to be reset
#3 Trying to honk the horn causes a buzz from the steering column and the DOME 
light goes on while horn is pressed.

Hope everyone has a Great New Year
