Help! Pre amp turning on by itself.

When not in use, turn it off. All my stuff (except a couple of REL subs) goes off when I shut down the power conditioner. 

I have a ceiling fan that turns on by itself. I went from a hardwired one to a remote controlled fan. It will go from off to full speed and the lights will also go on. I’ve had the remote stored in a cigar box when it self started. I hit the wall switch and kill the power when not in use. I wonder if it’s triggered by a power fluctuation. Here’s one that will leave you scratching your head. I have a ‘23 Ford F-150 Powerboost, twin turbo V-6 hybrid with 7kw generator. It’s pretty sophisticated and has experienced computer glitches in the past. One day it was parked on the side of my house locked and the key fob was about 90 feet away. I was right next to it and slammed a section of pool hose onto the garbage bin lid which created a loud bam ! Plastic hitting plastic and the car locks all popped and it booted up and started. I couldn’t duplicate it , and the dealer almost didn’t believe me. Yes sir it’s always something, and I’m sure Modwright will have your back. Cheers , Mike B . 

 Thanks to all for the suggestions and info. Right now the batteries are out off the remote. I like the link from yogiboy about the possibility of weak batteries, as the batteries in the remote are years old and have never been replaced. 

Besides there being a ghost in the machine it could be your mains power dipping and then returning to full power. This happens to my preamp.

Remove the power cable or switch off the preamp using it's power switch.

Ghosties and ghoulies can't get around that.

We have a heated towel rack that is on a wall timer.  This is all hardwired and there is no remote.

Lately, occasionally, when I get up at say 3AM to take care of business, I'll find the towel rack on!

All I can figure is that late night line spikes/fluxuations are triggering it and perhaps an a/c filter cap that used to take care of this on the wall timer is going away.

So...,
