Struck by lightning?

Went out to drive to work today, and the radio sounded "weak."

After a while I noticed that the performance felt strange and that the phone was offline.

After work, before I drove home, I pulled and reset some of the fuses in the rear.

Immediately I noticed that the phone was back online, the radio sounded better, and the performace felt right again.

After thinking about it, all I can say is that last night the car had been in a parking lot during a serious thunderstorm.

Maybe there was a lighning strike nearby that knocked some of the systems offline and pulling the fuses caused a reset?

So, if your car is acting strange after a rain, try a reset. I'd be curious to know if Weasel has encountered anything like this.

You might be right about the lightning... figures that those crazy guys over at Top Gear would have tried it on a small scale. :p
