Caught in the rain...touchscreen issues

JayInNC · Aug 17, 2019

Got caught in a crazy storm today with the doors off. Radio (along with the rest of the interior) got wet. Kept the screen as dry as I could (and I didn’t think it got THAT wet) but now it makes random selections on its own and hardly responds to touch. Controls from the steering wheel work fine, however. I’m guessing there could be some residual water behind the bezel that hasn’t dried that’s affecting the touchscreen. Anyone else experience this before? If so, what was the outcome?

It’ll be fine when it dries. Turn off the radio to lessen your level of annoyance.

I've seen it happen with mine from fingerprints, guessing that and water drops would behave the same. Now, I keep a clean micro fiber rag in the glove box and wipe the screen down when I notice prints or anything else on the screen. I have, but haven't installed, Mopar part #82215574 (High Definition Screen Protector) but have been to lazy to try it...good luck. :rock:
