On my return trip from Spyderfest I went through a fair amount of rain, some pretty heavy, and some places through pretty good puddles. Anyway, my radio started to act up. The signal from my GPS would fade out, then come back, then fade again, and then finally quit altogether. This is all through a wired headset. Also, the CB screen would not show up on the cluster. The iPod signal also disappeared and I think the FM did too. So I unplugged my headset and put the cord away. After a couple of days of riding in dry and somewhat sunny weather I noticed the CB screen showed every time I went to the trip meter screen to reset the odometer after gassing up. I decided to check out the headset. It was working, GPS, iPod, and FM, and has been working since. That is, everything except CB transmit. It appears to be totally dead. CB receive and intercom work.
I'm thinking the so called waterproof connectors in the radio and entertainment harnesses may not be so waterproof after all. Has anyone else ever encountered such a problem where something quit working after being in wet weather and then have it start working after everything has dried out?
