Hi Guys,

When im driving my car my car radio will randomly stop transmitting sound. Once this happens, if i hit the power button for the radio off and then hit the power radio again as if i was turning it back on and the radio will transmit sound again. This happens every 10-15 mins.

Also the battery on the car slowly dies on its own within 3-5 days so i must charge the battery in order to use the car.

I have already checked all the fuses. I even took out the fuse for the radio so it never turns on and the battery still continued the drain..

I have replaced the battery to the car in the amplifier with no luck. Any ideas???

Thanks!

Hi Azores1238,

The radio problem sounds like the unit is bad, pretty typical of electronics to work for a bit once reset, the battery drain can be more complex, here is an article to get you started, please get back to me on what you find.
