Yesterday I had to drive across the state in 98F weather, hwy speeds, A/C on.
Other than struggling to maintain 185F coolant temps at times, the vehicle performed as usual.
After reaching my destination and parking for about 30 minutes, a few weird things started occurring:
1) My back up/reverse cam wouldn't activate, the UI screen stayed on the usual menu/display, but didn't switch to the cam when I put it in reverse. Toggling the "back up cam" function didn't trigger the camera either.
2) The clock displayed the wrong time, since I had it set to "sync with GPS" for some reason it wasn't coordinating correctly, turned off the GPS sync and set the time, no problem.
3) I couldn't turn the system on/off: The power toggle wouldn't respond. Everything else worked: Volume, etc, but I couldn't turn off and/or reset the media interface.
I stopped and started a few times after when grabbing lunch, filling up, etc, but the issues persisted
After sitting in my garage all night and cooling down, I turned the vehicle to ignition this morning and the camera was working again, media system working as usual.
Fuses were all good, nothing blown or scorched.
I've driven this thing in worse temps before and everything was normal, so I am just wondering if there's potentially something wonky in my electricals that might need a look-see.
Thoughts?
