"similar issues" to "what"?

John, it's kinda hard to understand what you're saying with the way you wrote the post. Can you re-read and explain better? Maybe add some punctuation? Also, what does "fed" mean?

Definitely sounds like a failed EIM/Pad.
Unfortunately they have been discontinued and are difficult to find.
FP Marine has a replacement system... pricy though.

My port keypad went haywire! The blower turns on by itself, the acc buttons light up by themselves,and the trim tabs don’t work. Yesterday when I turned on the batteries all three lights came on then shut off after a couple minutes. I hit the blower button and heard a pop below helm then it all started to work again, when shut off batteries and turn them back on port keypad goes nuts again different buttons do different things eg. blower button turns on aft acc port trim down turns on blower and so on

Yeah, does sound like a wonky pad. To be sure, test it with a known good one, if you can.

A while back, Sea Ray worked on getting a different manufacturer (as I believe the original went out of business) to make these so owners still would have an option. I think they're only available in black, though. Off the top of my head, I think they're somewhere in the $250 to $400 range. Contact your local dealer. And... you may want to buy the stbd panel, as well... just so you have it for down the road.

Thanks yest I ordered the pad but go figure when I opened the boat today with all heat and sun everything works normally! It might have got wet with rain and now dried out I’m still going to get all the parts in case it happens again
