Temperamental Radio?

Postby Jimmy » Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:21 am

I started the car up thismorning and turned the radio on while i scraped all the ice off the windscreen. got back in the car and turned the lights on and the radio turned off :shock: Turned the lights off and the radio came back on etc etc. Any suggestions. I was thinking fuse but they both are still functioning, its just one or the other.

Have a look on miatanet. This is a common problem with the US cars. There's a guy called Jeff Anderson that has a fix for it. But I cant remember what the fix was. It's either a dry joint or you need to bypass something with a jumper.

Cheers garry, found it on there alright. A great site. Will be consulting with it a lot more now. If anyone else has the problem with the radio not turning on when you want it to, heres the link for the fix:
