ST Freakin' Out?

Hey All,
Just ran into a series of ST computer problems yesterday. First off, when I made a request for a contact on my phone, it got stuck on the "loading contacts". At that point in the trip, they should already have been loaded. I had to make the call from my phone. The display showed the call connection but didn't connect the audio. I had to use the phone speaker.
Then, another call came in while I was talking. When I tried to decline the call, it wouldn't respond. I started the think the problem might be the phone itself until something unrelated went wonky.
Later that night, I was loading some equipment into the ST and after about 5 minutes, I noticed the headlights weren't going out. I had to manually shut them off.
After a series of door openings and closings, the running lights were on, as usual but didn't turn off when I locked the vehicle. Neither did the dash.
I actually had to start the engine and then shut it down and then relock. It finally shut everything off.
It hasn't done anything since but is there something I need to reset in the settings?

I also realized that in the past few days, the air recycle goes off by itself. I know others have reported the same thing but the weird thing is, I've clocked it at exactly 5 minutes. I can turn it back to recycle and exactly 5 minutes later, it turns off. This will happen every time!

Appreciate your thoughts!

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for something like 30 minutes and re-connecting? Basically a cold-boot.

What SYNC version do you have? The newest is 23188 and it solved a lot of issues.

No, hadn't done a cold boot yet. Wanted to get some feedback before I did anything. Will consider, thanks!

I'll have to check that next time out. Thought I had the latest. I updated it just this past summer.
