Electronic gremlins
My stereo and Nav system have been shutting down lately...then coming back on, etc. I'll *assume* this is a warranty thing, but has anyone had this happen? Also, the a/c fan has been acting up (shutting off, making weird sounds). Is this connected?

I had a problem with my radio not turning on!! Turned out I was getting water from the tail light into the drivers rear corner casuing the dsp unit to go bad. Also check all of your harnesses for the radio and nav unit. Poor connections from corrision have been known to cause gremlins
Good luck
Tom

As far as the A/C fan going haywire, it's probably the final stage resistor:
