CommonSyns Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 My head unit just randomly shuts off and it takes awhile for it to turn back on. I just re-soldered all connections from the HU harness to the vehicle harness like 2 days ago. But I had this problem before it was soldered also. It will also say sometimes "ATT" with a speaker icon, It will do this at random also. EDIT: The internal amp is off also on the head unit.

CommonSyns Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 i think the problem might be over heating, whenever i turn the heat on the deck shuts off and stays off for however long it takes. my local car audio store back when i was still in CT told me that it might be a voltage issue and that i needed to change out the 3 main wires (battery, Ground, power) with a heavier gauge wire, something called voltage protect. Is this true?

KMS Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 What subs and amps are you running and what gauge wire is being used? I doubt it has anything to do with your headunit cutting out though. When you're playing the music you should see the voltage on the display IIRC, at what voltage does it turn off?

REVOofRustler Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Try running a new ground for it (preferably where you have the amps grounded) along with a new constant 12v run (straight from battery). Make sure to fuse the consant run as well. 2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7 club cab - Sold 2004 Audi S4 Avant - Fi and Crescendo - Stock Bose System - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147725-2002-dodge-dakota-end-of-the-road/?hl=%202002%20%20dakota 136.4 Sealed @ 29hz 137.0 Drivers window open @ 26hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michigancapri92 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 sounds like HU voltage problems causing it to over heat ... The 80 PRS has a function that you can turn the internal amps off, mine ran a little warm and i found that function so i turned the internal amp off and it did better. (dont know if you are using the internal amp or not or knew if you could turn off) Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
