Radio not holding source.

[MtCamper]

My radio just started auto switching to FM all by itself. I can get it to stay on AM or XM only if I keep my finger on the screen. Even on FM it keeps asking if I want to adjust my clock setting. Any solution?

If I remember right, been a while since I did it, you can hold down the volume button and the tuner button for 15-20 seconds and it will perform a soft reset.

What he said. Reset it. Hold those two down at the same time for like 10+ seconds (I usually do 15) and then let go. It won't indicate anything until you let them go, then it will blank screen when you stop holding them, and then boot up with the Jeep logo flying in etc (no further intervention needed)... If it just turns off and does nothing else (or if pushing the on/off button just brings it right back on), then you probably didn't hold it long enough.

Also, make sure the middle button on the left-hand side back of your steering (the button between the tun up and tune down rocker - it's the source button) wheel isn't stuck.

Is it possible the screen needs to be cleaned?

You guys nailed it. Just needed a hard reset and all is well. Thanks for the how-to.

This was my first thought, ghost inputs from some kind of contaminant on the screen, wipe the thing down once in a blue moon.

This is never a bad idea, either, but always clean it with just water and a microfiber towel. Do not use any cleaners. Anything else will take the anti-glare coating off the screen.
