Write down your programmed radio stations. Make sure you have your
radio's security code. Disconnect the battery for ten seconds. Hook it
back up and the problem should be 'reset'.
Has the problem been there since you has the battery changed, or some
other electrical service? Does the 'lamp check' act wierd when you
perform it, or is it OK?
