Here is my situation: I start the truck and the radio is usually on. I will drive a little and then the darn thing shuts off and then on again and continues to do this until I take the face off the radio. It will stop for a while but then it will do this again after a short time. It started doing this Saturday but I didn't think much of it because it only did it once that day. Now it has been doing this everyday after I get out of work since and does this more often. I do have an aftermarket radio installed in my truck. I was wondering if anybody might have an idea what my problem might be or experience the same thing that I have discribed? Thanks!

 

bad ground? eh, maybe thats just a speaker thing...

 

If it is a bad ground, where would I check for that? Meaning, would I have to pull the radio out and find the ground wire or is there another way?

 

I'll ask my buddy who's a radio install dude........

 

He said it sounds like a bad connection. Check your wires!
if you have an amp hooked up to the radio to check the ground

 

i would pull the stereo out and check the following colored wires:

black
red
yellow

 

I don't have an amp but my radio has pre-amps. Could those cause a bad connection?

I try this

thanks guys

 

Yeah, definately check the red, yellow, and black wires like keuka said. I have been installing radios for 3 or 4 years now and am studying for MECP certified installer and that's the only cause I have ever seen for a radio to turn off like that.

 

This is the seriously the same **** mine was doing. Now it just doesnt come on or do anything!!! If you finds anything out please post it up. Ive got alot on my plate already.... Supercharger install, and 2/3 drop

 

Don't have too much time during the week so I will take a look at it this weekend. But I will post back with updates. Thanks guys for replying.
