> [@Shoeless](#): > > I still have the car, but probably not for too much longer. Unfortunately the date display got reset a while back when I was trying to troubleshoot why the power mirrors were no longer working. I wasn’t sure which fuse was for the mirrors… The fuse diagram was confusing. It might have been the same one as the radio (which was working fine), or a couple of others…I wound up pulling and checking them all, and then later noticed the date display had reset. If you decide to sell it, please do so in the Marketplace. It just feels like this vehicle really needs to stay within the Doper family! ---

Happy Leap February! It’s time to bump this classic again. ---

Do we even know if he still owns the car? ---

How’s the car going to cope tomorrow, with 02022020… or will it display it backwards? ---

I haven’t been driving the Santa Fe for the last couple years. I replaced it with a 2017 Sonata. My oldest stepdaughter had been driving it, let her drunken boyfriend drive it, and he got in a wreck and totalled it back around Labor Day. So, sadly, no more updates… ---
