Hi All,

I seem to have a short in my radio as it cuts out for a split second while driving. I have not noticed any pattern to it as it can even happen while sitting at a light. Electrical stuff scares the electrons out of me, any advice on where to start?

 

Find the security code for the radio before anything. Even if you take it to a car radio shop, it could lock itself if the radio is removed in order to investigate a short.

 

x2 on the security code.

Here's wiring and fuses for the base radio, on the high line radio it is similar (more in the RAVE). Could be a cracked or loose fuse, but note that fuse 20 feeds radio memory. The high line radio with separate power amp has a different layout, even includes a feed from the SLABS (fun fact) for road speed. Perhaps that allows the sound level to auto adjust for road noise. Or just charge up the flux capacitor, so when you enter the right sequence on the radio you are transported back to when Motown ruled the earth.....
