I have an interesting anomaly that I want to throw out for the group to chew on. My Syncro runs fine, however I can hear all the electrical activity thru the radio. I park my van nose in to a wall. When I start the motor, with the radio on, the static is so bad I can hardly hear what's being said on the radio. If I turn on the headlights the static is cut in half. When I pull away from the wall the static is also cut considerably. As the engine warms, the static is diminished. When I turn on the turn signal or even push on the brake, I hear a "tic" when the lights cycle on and off. And there seems to be more static when the weather is clear than when it's raining. A while back I bought my wife a stuffed duck that would "Quack" three different tunes when you squeezed its toe. On the way home, with the duck sitting between the front seats, it would start "Quacking" at random times. When I pulled into my parking spot, nose to the wall, the duck wouldn't stop quacking until I turned the engine off, then all was quiet.
