Silver Member Username: NorthomahaPost Number: 262 Registered: Mar-06 | it really doesnt sound like a deck problem. Ive never heard of that happening. I think it is an alternator problem as someone above said. Even with a low amperage alternator it shouldnt shut simple functions like the heat and radio off. It sounds like its crappin out. |

Silver Member Username: BlkwardogAdel, Iowa Usa Post Number: 105 Registered: Mar-06 | well the heat doesnt shut off at all its just wen i turn the heat on/off it OCCASIONALLY makes the deck stop sending power to the speakers even tho the deck continues to play or atleast it shows it doin so on the screen. im not really tryin to argue im jus makin sure its understood wuts happenin bcuz no other electrical things in my car have problems except the deck on occasion so idk it could stil b the alternator but it seems i always have power for everything in the car except for occasionally the deck not sending power to the speakers |
