It's possible..but does that memory button also control the radio stations, and HVAC settings?

I thought it only controlled the telescoping wheel (which I don't have) and the driver's seat..that's pretty neat.

What happened? Did I get water into something that caused a short?

The thing that confuses me is that I've disconnected the battery before when replacing an EBCM and even then it didn't reset the radio..but this wash did.

Thoughts?

Just a thought, how old is your battery ? when they get old strange and crazy things start happening. Trust me I know this for a fact it happened to me.

I posted earlier that it had a date code of 8/11. I took a reading of it and it read 12.29.
