    Just thought I'd share a funny quirk I noticed recently with our tacos.

    I had led bulbs for both the overhead and map lights. One night when I went out to my truck I unlocked it from afar. I noticed blue flashing in the cab like a techno party. One of the led's on the bulb in my overhead light had burnt out and was making the rest act funny. So I turned on my map lights to fiddle with it, while I was checking everything out my fuse blew, and the map light turned completely off.

    Every time I started the truck after that, the clock reset to 1:00, this went on for a few days until this morning when I replaced the fuse for the overhead lights. Now the clock is fixed! Very weird, but either way, good info...
