i cant imagine where the amp would be. i would think a simple tape player head unit could power four speakers. any idea where to look? in the dash?

 

honestly i dont know, i didnt get a book with the truck so i dont know about any codes or menus...

 

if you have the infinity system the factory amp is behind the passenger side kick panel

 

Have you made sure the antenna is good if you have a bad one your radio won't work

 

topdog is saying that a speaker grounding out could blow the fuse on the back of the deck.

 

Adukart
he said theres a amp fuse in the fuse box thats why i told him to start looking for an amp. if a speaker is grounding out on power or ground it could be shutting the radio off i would look at the antenna first its starting to sound like the wire is bad

 

Yeah I have the same fuse and mine isn't amplified, from the factory that is......

 

no "infinity" system, just a cassette deck.

 

How do i test the antenna? for the three seconds the radio works, it gets all the stations. heres something i didnt tell you guys yet, if you push "seek" when you first turn the radio on, the radio will let you listen to the station it lands on and as long as you push seek again in time, it will continue to play...wierd...

 

I bet the antenna wire is bad as others have said. Mine did something similar, woudld sometimes come on other times it would try to come on but the power would cut out on it, I re did all the wiring, nothing, then I accidentally blew the fuse last night messing with something I had no idea what I was doing, and replaced the fuse, so far my radio has not cut off. The fuse was #8 in the fuse panel on the dash beside the drivers door,
