Year 2010 RX350 radio mode changes by itself

Asked by Guru945TGQ Sep 07, 2020 at 05:53 PM about the 2010 Lexus RX 350 AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car radio changes modes by itself. It does whole kind of drama. Such as,
it turns on by itself, changes channels/goes from AM to FM or other way
around, jumps to CD, CD comes out and goes back in.
This ghosty magic was started after it's windshield was replaced. The guy.
who replaced the windshield, did not do a good job. Top right corner of the
windshield (Driver side) was not glued properly but it was not visible. In the
beginning, magic used to be happened in the rain. I took it to the dealer,
technician detected the problem, water used to leak from the top corner and
travel behind the plastic cover (where the airbag is) and used to go in the
dashboard (probably computer is there). So windshield was replaced
another time. How can I fix this issue.

I don’t think anything wrong with the radio because leak was not, where the radio is. It may be wiring or computer or something else at that place. The water was leaking from the top corner of the window and it was going down in car thorough channel ( where the airbag is located and it covered with the plastic cover) (it is exactly the area between windshield and driver’s door). Water was not visible because it was traveling behind the plastic cover. Cover is attached to instrument panel, so the water was going there.

My 2010 rx350 radio used to do this all the time. I banged on it with my fist right underneath the push start button to the left of the radio a few times and the problem went away. Every few months it comes back, I just hit that same spot once or twice and it stops. Most interesting car I've ever driven.
