Story:
I was pulling into the Wal*Mart parking lot a couple of days ago, right after getting my new BFG A/T KO 31x10.50's put on. I looked down at the speedometer and noticed a light had lit up in a place that I had never seen one before. When I stopped I looked and it was a THEFT light. It is on the bottom side of the speedometer and is white in color. I turned off the X and it stayed lit up. I went inside, bought an oil filter, came back out, and it was off. When I cranked it back up it came on for a couple of seconds and then went back out. This has never happened before and has not happened since. WTF happened?
I have no alarm system. I had not messed with the radio or anything. Why is there even a bulb behind there to light up if I don't have a factory alarm system? Why would the light come on if there is no system? Any ideas? Ever heard of this happening before? Think my Explorer's lights are possessed? (has a problem with interior bulbs burning out CONSTANTLY)
