Cold Weather Gremlins in Electronics?

Recommended Posts

With below freezing temperatures with me I’m seeing strange things happening on startup. The Sirius radio doesn’t come on until I’ve driven a quarter of a mile. This is intermittent.  The Navigation system is slow, slower and very slow to work. Tonight I drove a mile or so before seeing a notice in the right hand window saying to check main screen as Navigation wasn’t working. I tapped the Navigation bar and the loading signal spun around until it timed out. I repeated the procedure and got the same result. The third effort brought up the screen immediately.. Has anyone had similar experiences?

On my 2014, Both satellite radio and navigation use the same antenna. 

Water has been known to get inside the antenna base and connections and cause problems.

TY. I’m learning more and more about this critter I love so much! The car is always garaged but I suppose driving in a rainstorm would do it. Any known fixes?
