While you are looking at the cluster, what is your outside temp reading?

i still think it is more of the electrical - with the outside temperature he would get all the engine and tranny ruckus but not the radio... i think the radio acting up is the key indicator here..

also, since it was torrential rain, i would also check for water in the battery compartment, where the radio is - things may have gotten shorted out if water got in the side pockets and/or the battery tub...

Yeah that is true... I just wanted to see if his outside temp is reading something wrong.. like -44* or 105* when mine does this... the temp display is always all messed up... so something is either being shorted or underpowered.

not to highjack the thread - but is yours still messed up? or you got it fixed?

Way to go Term... Hyjacking Threads... lol. No I fixed it... So far so good. I havent had that stupid doors not locking and all the lights on the dash coming up anymore. So $50.00 for a new regulator and she is all good. I painted the rear calipers black last week. took 5 hours because I took the calipers off the car and then cleaned them all up so the paint would stick properly... I figured I gained about 10 HP... respectfully.

it is about 3 HP per corner, so I would say the gain should be around 12 HP... you sure you did not misplaced the other two horsies... lol...

well, this dialog keeps the thread on the top of the list... this way we don't forget about it...

Neighbor had a battery tester and we determined that the battery was shot. Luckily I had a warranty from autozone, but a shot battery in 5 months? I tried the cluster test nine and it had diplayed lock on or lock off, wasnt sure what to do then. Will check temperature asap. Had to jump to a new battery quickly because I had somewhere to be. I really do appreciate the help! Would the next step be to check the battery recharging and the alternator?

Sounds like something is up with the charging system if that batt is only 5 months old and is discharged that way. Check further into it.

a battery can be dead in 5 months or 3 months or 20 months... however, to rule out the battery fault, the charging system needs to be checked...

for the test - take the last 5 digits of yuor VIN and add it up, say it LV12345, 1+2+3+4+5=15...

get into the tests, to test #19, it will say LoCK on/off, go into the test when it will say "00", and press the button until you reach number "15"... well, the number that is your VIN... then press the other button to "enter" your number - this will unlock all the tests, including the test #9
