My 01 CL-S has that issue from time to time......so I use the steering wheel controls instead. I just live with it. Probably an issue with the knob position encoder. You would have to take the unit apart to fix it.
I have found that if you jiggle the knob sideways with the car off, sometimes it makes things better.
Let us know if you find a fix.

The issue is with the encoder on the knob.

Same issue. Great fix find, this has been bothering me for years.
Found this at Radio Shack:

Anyone know of an (smaller) alternative? Seems like a waste of a large bottle I have no other use for...

I had that problem, I it worked well when I would rase the volume at a slow paste, but when I would rasise it at a fast past it would ether lower or raise the volume, the steering wheen controls worked well tho, I just bought an after market sterio instead since i was going to add a woffer and wanted an aux jack, but i did lose the steering wheel control "/ i here you can add the control again but i was going to cost around 80-100$$$

Worked like a charm. (a charm that works that is...some charms don't work at all and you get your hopes up and lose sleep then nothing.)
oops. does anyone else hear voices?
thnx again.

Bose radio fix
I hate to bring up this old one but I'd rather do that than create a new one.
Does anyone know if this works for controls on steering wheel? Having issues where radio works intermittently and cruise control rarely works.

The steering wheel controls are a different and well known issue. The ground ring around the steering shaft behind the wheel looses/has poor contact. There is a TSB fix, or some people just replace the ring.

Hate to ask..
Thank you BigLizard, I can't wait to try your fix. I'm sure you have solved the first half of my 2003 TL stereo volumn issues. Hitting the store later this morning. Then I'm back forward the fix for my steering wheel control's same issue. Thanks again and have a blessed week.
Warmly, TxRenee
