OnStar dials by itself

[H3 Hummer]

So 4 times now the OnStar has dialed by itself 3 while driving and once while I was cleaning the car with the keys in the ignition.

One of the times it called the emergency number. What gives? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Just wondered where you were http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Sounds like a problem either in the module (VCIM), the mirror or wiring.

I don't have the stock radio so the wiring may be the issue. But I have had this new radio for months with no isse, so I don't think it would happen now.

I know the mirro has a power button on it - does that turn OnStar off? or just the mirror (temperature)

Hey H3 Hummer,

Did you just have finished washing your vehicle when on star came on by itself???

Let me know, I may have the answer for you...

[H3 Hummer]

Yes.

I think I am going to regret this. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Hey H3 Hummer,

I got the same problem after I went thru a "drive thru carwash". The Onstar system started to come on every minute or so for at least 30 minutes. When I took it to the Dealer, They told me that the antenna seal was leaking and that was causing the short. They went ahead and re-sealed it. I didn't have any more problem. So have your dealer reseal the antenna area and you should be OK.

Hmm, that is very interesting. I had about 2 feet of snow on top of the truck right before this started happening. The snow probably melted and leaked down there and shorted it out.

I will take it in and tell them. I appreciate your assistance. Who would have ever thought.
