Radio - demonic possession

I hope someone here can help...or I'll have to summon a priest for the exsorcism (spelling?)

The radio/CD changer will change between CD's and stations all on its own? No other symptoms at all. I can switch back to the desired CD/station at will but...?
Anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,

20f

It would have to be a short somwhere, maybe in the wheel since it is tilted up and down the wires can chafe and cause problems. This assumes you have the controls on the wheel. SAtranger things have happened with these, I have had mine go blank and had to try all sorts of combos before it came back on.

I'm with the Boilermaker, my kid kicks the rear controls all the time, first time it happened, I was thinking ***, I changed the preset, it happened again, I finally remembered the rear controls, they're right at kid foot level, if your back seat's empty I'd check the rear control for dirt etc... or disconnect it and see if the problem goes away.

Hey, Quit kicking your feet! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

I agree with it being a good chance that its coming from the middle seat controls at the back of the center console. I have no kids but I had a large 15 gallon water container sitting on the floor right in front of it and it kept bumping into the controls until I figured out what was wrong.
