rain and radios

[snailwagon]

It has been raining quite a bit around here lately. Yesterday morning I get up and go outside around 4:30 am and am surprised that someone is blasting system of a down that early. Then I realize, it is coming from my fj55. The memory and the main power wire on my cd player are both hooked up properly, and no key was in the ignition. Anyone ever have their radio suddenly start blasting? Do you think water shorted something in the radio or in the ignition switch? It now works as it should, it goes off when the key is turned off. Just a wierd occurance.

i believe it could happen...the alarm on my old datsun kc used to go off when it rained...determined the battery was getting wet and shorting it out.

Sounds like a poltergeist is living in your 55. Good luck

Nice... a ghost that loves System of a down has taken residence in your cruiser... I'd kill myself now if I were you.

The radio in my FJ55 that I bought from Wallingford near Seattle in Washington, didn't work when I bought it from "rainy town" but has started working since I got it home to sunny California. I dunno, maybe it was because I replace the corroded terminals with new ones and installed a fresh red-top to boot.
