This started happening a couple week ago. Ive had a sony xplode deck for who knows how long and its always been good to me, but lately every 10 minutes or so it just randomly turns off for 5-10 seconds then comes back one. All the settings are saved and just fine... it just cuts out for a second. Once it lost all the memory and settings and reset, but only once. Any ideas?

 

probably a loose wiring in the back of the HU. or if u have amps a loose wire there.

any money it was installed with electircal tape. am i correct? sounds like loose wiring.

 

Thats what I thought too but everythin is connected just fine. And no, not electical tape haha.

 

A little more info, you say it "cuts out" do you mean the sound cuts out, [and the "lights" stay on] or the power cuts out, [like when you turn off the ign.]? 94

 

It turns off, like when I turn off the ignition. Only it only turns off, not loses all power cause it doesnt lose all the settings.

 

Then You are loosing power to the red acc. wire on the HU, [yellow/red in the cars radio harness], replace the oem radio fuse in the under dash fuse box, [just in case it's defective] also make sure the fuse "legs" are making good contact in the fuse socket, [wiggle the fuse in it's socket with the HU turned on se if it cuts out]
Also check the fuse on the HUs red acc. wire, [if it has one]
And remember just because the fuse looks ok, does not mean it is, the vibration in a car can break the filament, and the fuse would be intermittent. 94
