Electrical Gremlins

Last evening I put my aero inside for the night (a rare treat for it) because I wanted to repair the ext sliding door handle. That part went well and works fine. Driving it today a strange thing began to happen out of the blue. The radio started to increase volume and scan channels BY ITSELF~! AAARRRGGHHH. Does anyone else have similar experience? This truck never ceases to amaze! lol (but its fun)

For a temporary fix, press the number 1 and 3 button at the same time. You should see the little headphone symbol on the radio screen disapear. See if that solves the volume issue.

If that shuts off the rear controls so I don't have to beat that little giggling gremlin in the backseat senseless, I'm going to have to owe you a beer.
