It's happening again!
I'm resurrecting this old thread of mine. This problem basically went away last September. I thought I'd linked it to somehow be my LED fog lights (though they're on a totally different circuit). I replaced the LEDs with factory bulbs and the problem stopped.
Well, after a year, the problem is back again. Does anyone else's stock radio do this? I think it's thermal - I think it gets too hot and just as the radio's fan comes on, a thermal circuit or something cuts the power off.
I know it's not the battery, not the ground, not the circuit or fuse (fuse is good and everything on the circuit works when the radio won't). I've practically convinced myself the problem is the head unit, but don't want to spend money on a new head (stock or aftermarket) and then have it not be the problem.
Any thoughts? Here's a video of what it's doing:
