my dials bounce around and click for around 30 seconds after the car is off and the key is removed...??? i doubt its a real issue, but it is funny to watch, and very odd.

mine does it too and the explanation i got was just a little power surge for a few seconds that causes this. nothing to be alarmed about though.

it happens all the time, don't know why but it's happened from day one. nothing to worry about. It's about as common with cobalts as the ghost knock in the trunk.
