Radio vs Chilly Temperature?

[Panjandrum]

My radio seems to dislike the cold. A couple of days ago, I could not get the radio to turn on. When I got home, I turned on the CB... ok. Then the radio...ok. Switched them all off... ok.

 

Today, on a rode, I was slowing for an intersection, and heard loud but garbled voices. The CB had switched itself on. I cannot turn it off, change the channel, or switch to headset. I also cannot get the radio to come on.

 

Is this a fair weather radio I have on my 08 Venture? Is there a quick fix? Or is this a guarantee job?

Maybe water/moisture in the controll head???

Sounds like mine did on an 08 also warranty. Mine was the connectors in the fairing. Still in warranty so why not let them fix it! Ken!

Quickly get it un demonized. It might be................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ just confused. Has it been passed by a 1st gen recently. If so just keep it warm, away from any water. It will settle down and realize it will always be in 2nd.

My 08 has a very similar problem, will bring it up to dealer when I get windshield replaced.

Yup! Mine did the same thing! Reseating the controller connector and dielectric grease fixed it!!
