2014 Cascadia
1. Wipers started going on their own while driving then stopped.
2. Few hours later the city horn started blaring on its own. Driver disconnected.
3. While in sleeper same night truck started on its own then stopped almost instantly.
4. Smoke came from the fuse box area on the passenger side. Driver at this point disconnected the battery terminals until this can be figured out.
Has anyone encountered these issues on a Cascadia? It's been raining all day yesterday I don't know if that makes a difference.

Sam cabin module shorted out. Only about a 30 minute job to replace, but it does need to be programmed.

bzinger, Rideandrepair, baha and 1 other person Thank this. -
You will need to find the water leaks above and around the wires and connecting plug in, or put all fuse boxes in heavy duty zip lock bags and seal them from water leaks?
Rideandrepair and BHarbinson74 Thank this. -
Try checking and cleaning grounds and connections at batteries and fuse box and any other place for corrosion before throwing parts at it.

When you got to the point the truck started on its own, that’s enough for me. I would not stay in that truck. Lol that’s like haunted or somethingJoeyJunk and BHarbinson74 Thank this.

LOL. First thing driver said was "Man I almost died". It's always funnier after the fact.
