chris f Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Can anyone please help / give ideas. On some cold mornings when i get in the mondy and turn on the radio comes on lights up and in the way of looks, everything is OK. But from the Speakers all i hear is a click sounds like an electrical interference click, about one every 2 seconds. Change input and no change to the sound. Have turned of and on, turned the car of left for about 2 mins restarted and have got no change to the stereo. Leave the car while at work get back in latter and the fault has cleared? Please has anyone had this fault in the past or know what the cause could be, or am i looking at the start of the stereo dyeing ? Many thanks for any help ideas.

Darranw Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 How's the battery, old new ? You mentioned cold mornings Did it do it during warmer weather ??

chris f Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 No idea about battery age, ws on car when brought 2 half years ago, only noticed problem on cold well frozen mornings. And not everyone not yet anyway. Unable to pull fuse as not got radio code, when brought car main dealers admitted they never checked that it was in the owners pack.

Stoney871 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Could be some condensation. I had the occasional hiccup with my old Focus when the temperature dropped and the radio would reset itself. I'd get the car warmed up and the problem would vanish.

You'll need the code at some point. What about the battery voltage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like BOF says you'll probably need the code if you want to explore this fault further or if your not too bothered about the head unit stick in a after market one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
