Radio sound dead

Pretty sure it's just one point on the power wire circuit. Jiggle wires works most times. Seems all I have to do is hit the side of the trunk and it's repaired indefinitely.

You had it correct! I finally took out the trunk amplifier and discovered a coaxial connector had come loose. I reinstalled it and the radio now works perfectly!

There are two connectors on the amplifier. One is a complex plug and the other is this coaxial one, looking much like the type F that is used in video applications. Without a proper schematic diagram, I was worried how to approach the repair but that turned out not to be necessary.

Thanks for the suggestion.

No coaxial type connector on any of the amps I have seen yet. At least your good, glad to hear it.

I spoke too soon! The radio is internittently dead again, so I still have to fix it. I am fairly certain it's the amplifier, so I will pull it out again and open it. I did think the fix was too easy.

Yes there is a coaxial connector in addition to the multi-pin main connector. But I suspect a cracked circuit board or something similar. It could also be poor mating on the big connector.

Throw it away after grabbing another one. The frustration in 4.5 years lol. I could not get access to any connector, sorry I didn't take pictures but I just couldn't get to that part.
