Radio and climate controls gone!

[Reno]

Over the last few weeks I have noticed my climates controls, heated seats/steering wheel buttons, etc. have been going in and out. Today, all of the buttons and knobs below the screen are gone. No lights or functions. I can control the climate from the radio screen and volume from the steering wheel. Also, my remote start works but only runs the truck for about 5 seconds.
AND my wipers are acting crazy stoping and starting at random times, even when in the off position.

I’m sure this is a very expensive fix since I just dumped $1800 into Longtubes……

Haven’t checked fuses or anything yet, just seeing if this is common.

Start by having the battery load tested and charging system output checked. Everything you have listed is electronically controlled and things can go very weird when batteries and charging systems start to go south.

This, when my battery was dying/dead my wipers would activate on startup even with the switch off.

Have your battery LOAD tested. Those are the signs of a dying one.

Battery is only a year and half old. I’ll have that tested, though. Appreciate it!

Battery tested fine. In the car wash today, it dawned on me that this is only occurring when it’s raining or in the car wash. Water must be getting in somewhere ‍

Did you disconnect/reconnect or disturb any wires while installing the headers? I would start there.
