Default Ghost in the truck

Recently experiencing radio on and sometimes the wipers are going when return to my truck after work. Nobody is pranking me. Happens at the house also. Could it be a failing key ignition cylinder? Maybe the pass lock?
Open to any advice except exorcism
thank you

a low battery can trigger weird random issues. how good is your battery or your battery connections?

Might want to check the underside of the under hood fuse block for corrosion.

thanks for the insight
I did replace the battery 2 weeks ago. I experienced the stuck key issue. That prompted me to replace the battery. The radio and wiper issue was Tuesday of this week. I will confirm my connections and look for any corrosion.

Are you still trying to use the Crappy Azzed OEM Battery Terminal Connectors? If so, hack them off and replace with a quality aftermarket set like Stingers or your favorite brand. First mod to be done to every H3/H3T.

Do you have a sunroof? If so, has the front passenger floor been wet?

Sunroof leak because of clogged drains. Do the fix. Finally, a fix for clogged sunroof drain tubes

Check connections to your BCM, the wiper thing may be caused by corroded BCM connections, harness, or BCM itself.

About 3-4 times per year, my wipers will just randomly make a single pass. Won't do it again for 2-3 months, then...bam...a single pass!

Never had that happen on my '07? In your case, I would grab a can of CRC® QD® Electronic Cleaner and clean the contacts to the combo switch.
