radio sound cuts out sometimes comes back

Postby adams99z71 [OP] » Jan 29 2012, 11:06pm

so the other day at the stop light my radio quit making any sound. drove down the road a little ways then it came back on. everytime it does this it cuts out for longer periods of time. still has power just no sound. everything is factory. im thinking the radio is shot. what do you guys think?

found the problem, after market speaker housing was contacting the door frame, grounding out the radio.

Glad you found that before you bought a new head unit. Although, it would have been a good excuse to make an upgrade!

the ground was good.. too good in fact. the speaker frame/body was contacting the door frame.
