Ragehole Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 so i got done with work today, and as i was driving home i decided to bump my stereo a little bit. and while i was doing so my stereo was kicking in and out like the cd was skipping, so i didnt think anything of it but it kept doing it so i decided to switch to my ipod. it kept doing it. finally my stereo kicked completely out.... the car kept running and my windows and power locks still worked. well when i shut the car off my power locks dont work and my keyless entery doesnt work anymore. but the car starts fine. no issue. all electrical works fine if the car is running but the stereo doesnt and nothing works when i shut it off. do you guys think that it is just a fuse that blew or something more major. i have a big 3 upgrade with a fuse inbetween the alternator and battery. i checked that and it is good. i checked all the fuses for the stereo accept the ones on the back of the stereo its self. do you think there is another fuse i could check? somebody give me some input please.

Mariobjones Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Sounds like a lose connection to me. When you installed radio, was all wires secured together strong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 when you say shut off, do you mean power is off or sound is off? also, how did you check your fuses?

Ragehole Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 yes, the car has had the headunit in it for about 3 years now and ive been doing little upgrades to it when i can afford them. my most recent upgrade was my big 3. i have had a optima red top in since i bought the car. ive had little bumps in the road with it here and there but nothing wierd like this. im pretty sure its just a couple fuses but i just thought i would see what everybody else thought.

sprkn_ranger Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yea check all fuses and maybe even check the ignition, if it works with the car running and doesn't work without it running it might have something to do with the ignition.

Ragehole Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 i checked all the fuses. they are all good. idk if any relays would deal with this but it is kinda annoying. i havnt checked the ignition. i was talking to my dad about it and he thinks that maybe my battery is going bad but the car starts fine and runs great with no hesitation at all. all other electronics work great other than my one window motor but i think that is just going bad. but my stereo doesnt work and my keyless entery doesnt work when car is off. those are my issues anybody else with any ideas, please send them my way.

MrSkippyJ Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 how did you check the fuses? are there any common wires between your radio and your keyless entry?

Ragehole Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I pulled every fuse in the car that i could find and checked to see if any were broken. and no there are no common wires between the radio and the keyless entry.. before my radio completely went out it was flickering on and off like you were hitting the pause button on and off then the music was wandering between all my speakers like the amp was serging power and didnt know which speaker to send it to so it was just randomly sending it to whichever one it wanted. then the radio finally went out.
