Fortunately, I think the problem has resolved itself, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts. We had a significant amount of rain early in the week. I was driving home Tuesday evening, and notice my Radio/Nav screen changed, by itself, from radio to OBC mode. I tried to change the station, only to find that none of the buttons worked, including on/off. The screen then went blank, though the radio continued to play. About that same time, the airbag warning light came on, and the green light associated with the headlight switch began blinking (indicating an issue with the self leveling/adaptive headlight system). For the next two days, the symptoms reappeared; five minutes of driving with no issues, then within a span of 30 seconds-airbag light, flashing green light, blank nav screen, no radio OBC controls, and no turn signal dash lights (that was one I didn't notice the first night) though the signals were functioning. The weather dried out, and by yesterday all symptoms had disappeared.
Pretty obviously I think, the problem was associated with moisture affecting the electrical system. What's strange to me is the seemingly random combination of issues caused by wet weather driving. Are those systems integrated somehow?
