radio fade knob turned on a/c?, etc.

[JamesL3]

So i was messing with my radio settings yesterday and fumbling with the fade knob (found out the front right and rear left are out) and ran into a strange issue. The a/c turned on without me pressing the power. Could this be a ground issue? I haven't looked at the electrical diagram to know if they are tied together somehow. Has anyone else had this happen? When i first got it i remember sitting parked at idle and messing with the a/c and it caused the truck to stall stating low oil pressure on the DIC (which there wasn't). I'm not very electrically inclined outside of installing sounds/radios/etc. Just thought i should throw that in there.

you might have a speaker shorting to ground. check your pinch points and metal edges for bare spots and shorts

Will do, thanks for the pointer.

Do you have the automatic control system for the heat & AC?

Yes.

I would agree then that somewhere somehow some wires are crossed or crushed together. I don't think the radio functions go through the BCM other than retained power feed.
