on the back of the radio, when you would slide it out of the console, there
is a silver mesh grounding strap bolted between the radio and a common ground *the other end usually can't be seen easily*. i'm not exactly sure how this affects the operation when it's cold outside or not.. i'd figure it'd either be attached or not attached. i can't see an electrical problem with the radio based on temperature. but at the same time, it's not like the radio is powered by servos or something else that don't work when it's cold outside. i can't think of anything. take the radio out and make sure everything is hooked up.

i think the problem is the radio itself. it has some kind of internal
defect where some kind of power lead perhaps contracted (since metal contracts a little in cold weather) and cuts off the power to the rest of the radio. i had the same problem with my factory radio in my 92 dodge spirit and so i went and got an aftermarket radio and it works fine in all weather conditions. |
