After refueling, started vehicle and noticed that auto-on headlights did not work as I had to turn them to the manual "on" setting. Next, my doors would not lock and the dash lights became extremely bright. Next, my seat belt continuously "chimed" while I was driving with it on. I also noticed that my turn signals, when activated, did not make a sound. I drove like this for about (30) minutes in the evening.

They said nothing showed on the diagnostic (that past history on the diagnostic may have been erased) and they found no incident reports on this. So now I don't have transportation as my old truck is in the shop with transmission is
