I am curious. We all know the C14 seems especially sensitive to voltage/current/terminal/battery/ground issues. Not your normal type where the battery is weak or something and it just doesn't start, or it just clicks, or it properly warns that the voltage is low. But strange/unusual behavior like the the display freaking out, or seemingly random, unusual error messages, or similar experiences that would lead a typical user to NOT understand it was a simple problem... Then one discovers, later, it just was a weak or defective battery, or a poor connection to the battery or frame grounds. THIS SHOULD NOT be confused with the other issue of the key/knob just not working (and requiring the infamous "K Rock" solution of banging on the knob to release the switch).
This has happened to me twice- once where I had no idea what was going on and the other where I was familiar with the problem so I knew what it was. The second time left me stranded away from home for a while (where I had to remove the battery and clean/tighten the connections).
I set the poll to allow changing of your vote, in case you make a mistake, or as this thread gets old you need to change it because it then happens to you. Thanks for participating!
Over the many years, we have seen lots of such posts. I am just curious to collect some information to see how many of us have seen such a problem. So I thought a poll might be interesting.
