Love when my car fixes itself

When i got my car the antenna didn't go up or down so I used to haul it up manually and push it down when i wanted the sleek look... so one day i turn my car off and I hear this noise from the back of the car. I thought my fuel pump has crapped itself or something but then i noticed that my antenna had gone down! Now it works all the time which makes me happy

The other thing that bothered me was that my interior light didn't go on when i opened the door. So the other night i get in my car and the light went on! It hasn't fixed itself totally yet but it lead me to the button in the door fram which when i wiggle will turn the light on an off so i have to fix that.

I love when cars fix themselves

Yeah probably need to sand down the connections. Maybe the slightly colder weather has something to do with the solder joints making a better connection in the antenna motor?

I wish my cruise control and alarm would "fix" itself
