FN2 std radio just crackle for first 10 mins

Hi all.

Wondering if you could help.

When I first start the car from cold, I get nothing out of the radio but hiss and crackle.

After 10 mins it gradually gets better and then is fine!

Turning on/off heaters, blowers etc makes no difference.

Any ideas at all please because I can't think of anything it could be.

It will be a dry joint somewhere. As the unit heats up from being turned on, proper contact is made and it kicks into life.

A decent auto electrician should be able to sort it.
 
Thanks Loxy - thats a good idea! I'm quite good with a soldering iron so I'll pull the unit out and have a go.
