Over the past two weeks or so, I've been experiencing an odd electrical issue at some phase of startup. The car starts fine but the memory of the trip odometer is erased and everything, including the clock, is reset. This has never occurred during normal driving but is immediately noticed right at start up. Clearly just a minor inconvenience at this point but am hoping to avoid any further severe issues or electrical gremlins.
The other odd electrical issue is that for many months now, I have randomly experienced a brief (1-2 second cutout) in the radio that only occurs maybe 5-10 seconds after start up. Radio is playing immediately after startup and then has a short cutout only to resume without any adjustments on my part.
Neither of these issues are a constant. However, they have repeated themselves enough at this point I wanted to put them out there to share with the group. Other item to note is that I installed the Autozone replacement battery in the winter of 2009. Thoughts on what to look for or keep an eye on?
Thanks in advance!
