I have had trouble with the volume control knob on my factory radio (the SC8100, I believe?). Whenever I turn the knob, very loud static comes through the speakers. The static stops when I stop turning the knob, but it is annoying. A more serious related problem is that I get sound from only one side or the other, depending on how I press on the knob (laterally). As the volume is turned up, this "non-stereo" problem goes away, but at normal listening levels, I only get one side.

I tried to fix the problem by removing the radio and blowing pressurized air (normally used for computer maintenance) into and around the internal workings of the volume control (figuring there was some dirt on the contacts). This helped for a few days, but it got worse again.

Has anyone else had this problem? Even better, has anyone fixed this problem??

Thanks!
