Thanks for the posting Disaster. I doubt water damage. The car is a garage queen and has never been driven or parked in the rain. That said, the first fault occurred as I was driving the car after washing it. I examined all of the components under the driver's seat and there is no evidence of an water or liquid ever being present.

After reading a ton of different postings the reoccurring theme was a wire being grounded. The only thing I have touched in the car in months is the radio. I took the radio out and cleaned things up a little. At one time I had a double din in there and went back to the stock CDR-220. I have left the radio out and put 100 miles on the car without any more issues. We'll see if that is it.

Again, thanks for the follow up.
