Radio keeps turning off when i put volume up.

[Ely585]

Every time i put the music up on my aftermaket radio it keeps shutting off. The fuse in the fuse box where is say "radio" along with 7.5 is not blown. i removed it and inserted it back and the radio works again? Can the fuse be too weak? or is there something else possibly wrong.

Sounds like it not getting enough power.

Should I put a better fuse in it?

Never ever do that. The fuse isn't even blowing so it has no effect.

Alright. Well, How can I get some more power to the radio?

[cb7_ex_coupe]

Make sure it has a good ground too.

If you are able to pop out you aftermarket set up check the wiring behind. It is possible your music knocked out a wire? Or possibly a ground.

It sounds like the radio is protecting itself. By pulling the fuse, you're resetting it. Check your wires and connections.

[Soufkackicustom]

Pull your radio out and cut off all your speaker wires. Turn the radio up if it cuts off check for voltage and the red and yellow wire. If they check out your ground is bad. If it doesn't cut off hook the speakers back up one at a time, each time turning the radio up to see if it cuts off. If one dose it. Reset the radio and unhook the wire from the back of the speaker. With the speaker unhooked turn the radio up. If it cuts off you got a bad wire, if it doesn't you got a bad speaker

i resent that at the fact that im a best buy autotech employee . i note the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but its not the store but the product.


to the op check that your constant wire (yellow) is getting constant 12v.
thats the most common sense we just fixed a car with the same problem yesterday. it was that 12v source. also like others mentioned check your ground


good luck ill check back later to see if you still have the problem ill scratch my brain for more solutions


aslo did you ever change out your speakers ? and are they amplified?

[Ely585]

I fixed the problem, my ground was bad.. i re-grounded it and worked perfect. N yes i changed all my speakers. My whole wire harness is cut so i had to do everything Wire by wire.

That sucks, u should hit up the JY and cut a plug out of CB and wire your shit correctly. Then u can get a harness and do it right.

[sombra13]

thats good man glad u figured it out.

and yea exactly what hardinthepaint said get the original plug wire it back up and find ur self an after market wiring harness. not only will that make sure every thing that is suppose to be connected is connect but makes it easier for you to wire it up if u ever decide to up grade your stereo

great info! im having the same problem and im about to go check my ground and 12v source wires right now!!!
