    Stereo works intermittently

    Since we got some time at home decided to try and diagnose the stereo not working again. Found this little relay looking bit with some copper windings behind the dash, it's what clicks on and off when the stereo turns on and off. I'm thinking it's part of the amp trigger for the original...

    Stereo works intermittently

    I'm with you on rewiring the speakers. I'd love to do that but I need the truck everyday right now and don't really have the time to get that done. On another note, stereo now works when the truck is cold as long as I'm bumping the seat forward or backward. Seems like the change in voltage...

    Stereo works intermittently

    So decided to resurrect this thread since the last update was in the summer and this problem seems to be seasonal. It's been cold here in socal, by our standards anyway. Been about 60-70 for about a month and in that time I've not had the radio work for me. We warmed up a little bit I to the...

    Stereo works intermittently

    For the last 2 days the radio has worked fine...starting to think it's just a bad connection somewhere behind the dash... Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Stereo works intermittently

    So thought I would update this post since its been a little while. I removed all the factory speakers and got some replacement Pioneers from crutchfield. They came with a pigtail so that I could use the stock harness in the truck to connect to the head unit. Stereo still functions...

    Stereo works intermittently

    It's a very odd problem, not really repeatable. I had no radio on the way home but after I got home went to show my brother the problem and of course the radio was working now. Is the function anything to do with the antenna? I took it off to do some paint prep in that fender and it was...

    Stereo works intermittently

    Took the truck to work this morning and.....no radio again! Is there another amp or switched component for the radio hidden in the dash somewhere? I thought I got rid of the factory amps when I changed the front speakers. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Stereo works intermittently

    Checked the ground connection for the harness and the connector that bolts to the rear of the factory head unit was loose inside of it's crimping and slid right off. I decided to crimp on a new connector and now the radio seems to be working. Hopefully that was the permanent fix... Sent from...

    Stereo works intermittently

    I crimped all the connections from the new head unit to the harness adapter. The radio turns on with the truck every time, just the speakers sometimes won't produce any audio Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Stereo works intermittently

    The head unit still works. It will turn on and cycle between audio inputs/sources but has a quiet static coming from the speakers. It will connect to my phone and everything, just no sound coming from the speakers. I'll drive to work with no radio, then when I get in the truck to go home, it...

    Stereo works intermittently

    So I've done some searching on the forum and haven't found the exact problem I'm having with my stereo. I have a 96 ram 2500 with the factory infinity system. I replaced the head unit and the two front speakers. I got a pigtail adapter to plug into the factory harness. Randomly, the stereo...
