At night i take the face off the unit and leave the face inside all night. My truck stays outside in the cold overnight and in the morning when i get in and put the face on the unit, the unit turns on and works but there is no display on the screen. It seems like there is a cold connect with the prongs because about 5-10 mintues later when the truck warms up it seems to work fine with no problems..... Just wondering if this is a common issue or if you have heard of this situation with anybody else... If you know of a way to fix it, let me know i would appreciate it alot.... Thanks, Jordan
The same sort of thing happens to my unit.. try cleaning the electrical contacts on the back of the face-plate and the front of the "bare" head unit. Be careful not to bend any of the pins. a pencil eraser works well to get light oxidation up.. you can go over the contacts with a q-tip and some alcohol to do a final cleaning also.. make sure the car is off while you do this. Also, with my face plate, if the display is off after attaching it, pushing on the right side of it (gently but firmly) will get the lights and display to come on.. it seems to stay lit after I do that. hope it helps.
