Hi
A strange title from a strange person granted,but I'm really suspecting the power lines that run overhead where I park my car at work are having some undesirable effects on it
Every now and then I would park my car underneath some rather heavy duty looking power lines that are not particularly high up and I've noticed my cars electrics become somewhat glitchy when I set off home at the end of the day.
Just the other week when I set off home the radio came on but the info screen was showing no station info and the radio controls became unresponsive, and the radio would not turn off when I switched the car off.After a few cycles with the ignition key it all came back to life again and has behaved itself when I was now away from the pylons
I've had a few other weird and wonderful glitches regarding other parts of the cars electrics ,and then I noticed these annoying glitches would suddenly stop when I stopped parking underneath the power lines.
This week I had no choice but to park underneath them again and low and behold I had some strange electrical anomalies again.
It's been to much of a coincidence in my eyes.
I started asking around at work if others had experienced anything like me and most of them thought I was going "potty" but two works mates did agree that they seem to have strange electrical gremlins when they park there cars their too.
Very bizarre indeed 🤣

You beat me to it Classic. Technically it shouldn't effect them but it does. Just proves that the screening against emf is insufficient. I blame car manufacturers cutting things down to the bone.
