    I would be looking for a alarm system or equivalent. At least past wire tampering like speedy splice connections ( look it up ). If you find any, pull and trash them. 90% of electrical gremlins are those things. They should be outlawed.

    In an insane turn of events, my transmission blew this morning. I may never know why it was doing what it was doing, not sure if I’m in for the rebuild of a transmission at this point.
