Sounds like you have a wire that is randomly loosing connection. Triple check your wires for bad connections if you can't find anything i'll give you a few more tests to try. But definately you have a loose connection somewhere.

YES you need to solder that wire back together hot glue is NOT going to hold that together. While your at it you need to solder and shrink wrap all of the connections to prevent further problems.
What do you mean grounding the head unit? Grounding the stereo chassis directally to the dash chassis? If that's so then go ahead, it's not going to hurt as long as you have the headunit grounded through the wire harness.
