To Everyone,

The main head units used in the 95's is either Becker or Alpine OEM unit. These both use HEX (electronic) vol. controls, thus the fact that the knobs can be turned with no stopping point like the old analog type. These controls are sealed types and have no ability to be lubed and infact if you were able to get lube inside them you would compound the problem even more so. The control inside is a dry control to do what it needs to and if anything is sprayed or put into it, falsing will occur to the CPU inside that controls the vol. level and so when you turn it maybe it will respond or maybe not. If you turn a normally functioning control too fast you can cause it to miss some of the data being transmitted by it to the CPU and so causing it to remain at the last level it was at. Temperature can affect it due to moisture that can get inside a failing control.
The solution: get the control replaced which we do all the time.
