There was no response to my earlier posts on this but I think I've figured out what was happening. The standby LED that fades on & off was acting eractic, not fading smoothly acting like it had a short. Well it turns out that it was an indication of the home/car sensor not doing it's thing. When the LED does this it acted as if it was at home when in car. It works fine now I know there's a mechanism that does it. I haven't had a problem with it since.
