I turned my stereo off, rolled down the windows (while the key was in accessories) waited for the antenna to fully extend, then turned the key to the on position. I did not hear anything except for the beep telling me my seatbelt wasn't fastened. I did notice that a orange triangle to the left of the R on the fuel gauge lights up when the key is in the on position. I hope that means something to someone out there and that it will help me get to the bottom of this problem.
Thanks again.
Brett
