0 jc43089 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Factory radio or aftermarket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brian. Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Factory. It worked flawlessly in the 40's and 50's. But once it started to drop in the 30's and lower, it once in a while did this, now with this cold snap it always does it. It's semi annoying, because turning the car on an off doesn't always work. And that uses more gas then it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
