I've encountered more than my fair share of gremlins this winter:

1. If the outside temperature is <-18C, my low washer fluid alert is illuminated. Fluid is not frozen or gelled and it sprays fine. Check the connector at the reservoir and no corrosion. Works fine if >-15C

2. Sirius XM channels I have programmed to skip will randomly reappear and channels I have allowed will be gone. This is really annoying. Presets don't change, however.

3. If the alternator belt gets wet & slips, the truck goes into power saver mode and doesn't automatically reset once alternotor begins charging again.

Has anyone else noticed these? Any fixes?

What kind of water are you getting into to make the alternator slip? I've never had that issue ever. Wonder if you have a weak tensioner. The first two I cant help you with. Maybe a factory reset in the head unit? The washer fluid don't make a lick of sense especially only at - 18 that's like all the time here.
