radio question....

hey guys i looked to see if there were any threads and i couldn't find an answer... SO... usually when its cold outside and i go to start my truck in the morning i look at the radio and it freezes, like i will adjust the volume and the volume number will be frozen on the screen. THEN i will play with the temperature knobs and the air speed levels and the screen will.. for lack of a better terms, freak out and display gibberish on the screen. like i said it usually only did this when it was cold but today it did it too and it was 65 degrees outside this morning. anyone else had this problem?

Pop the radio faceplate off (the whole thing - from the curve in the top of the dash down under the heater controls). A flat screwdriver gently slipped in the joint at the top and a gentle tug will free the whole thing.

There is a small cable that connects to the radio display on the passenger side of the faceplate. My guess is that it's pinched between the radio and the faceplate (you'll see what I mean when you go to put it back on).

Im not sure how it's related to the heater controls because they each have their own wiring harness, but it's worth a peak and takes less then 2 minutes...
