[W126 Coupe] Radio Goes Blank!

[DCrawford at tompkinsinc.com]

Hello all;

Any assistance for my radio problems for my 1984 500SEC would be appreciated.
Specifically, when it is cold outside (like below 30 degrees), often times,
but not always, when I turn the key in the ignition and start the car, the
radio stays completely blank.  The antenna operates properly.  

 

But, my car has a master battery disconnect switch, and when I turn it off,
then back on, the radio comes on and functions properly.  The radio in the
car is a later model MB radio that was fully gone thru by the folks at
Becker, and I had the same problem several years ago while living in Iowa
with the original radio.  So, my assumption is the problems are not
associated with the radio.  

 

Any ideas about tracking down the problem would be welcome.

 

Thanks much

 

Dave Crawford
