Default Volume **** Flaky

When I turn up the volume it goes down sometimes and vice versa. It even goes L to R sometimes. Does anyone know what kind of a fix I am looking at?
Thanks

Does it do the same thing when you use the buttons on your steering wheel?

Buy DeoxIT Contact cleaner. Pull the **** Out and spray little bit on the shaft and give it a good couple of turns, that should clean the potentiometer, and fix the problem you are having. Hope you are not using strong cleaners chemicals inside the car, these are know to cause problem like you are having.

It's possible my human voice is squeaky too.

Seriously, thanks.
