COLD and Switches

So last night, Los Gatos, Ca. it got down to a bone chillin 37 deg. with wind factor 34 deg. Ya ya, not so cold for you snow birds..

yes: I have dielectric grease every connect on the bike / battery is March 201 new , battery tender , just checked at Oakland Harley...

Question for you folks in the snow:

Do you find your switches not working correctly in the cold ?

My L/R turn signels, my intercom rocker switches did not work, woke this am 45deg. and all is well...

I know these are made by Bosch - Germany soooo what ya think ?

I've spent many an hour on bikes in the low 30's and never had a switch problem.

More than a few times I've had to get the ice of the seat, pegs and bars before riding.

When you say they didn't work...do you mean they would not move...or they did move but no results?

Meaning the Switches move fine, but No Blinkers , the "Speaker Rocker Switch" would not allow the speakers to switch to back into the helmets..

I ran a Diag. on the new HD Karmon No Codes poped up...
