Post a little mad

ugh....well lately...when i turn on my car...the radio does not work. i get a "system down" (or something like that) and/or a "no sound" message. on the display clusten under the Audio part where it would normally say "RADIO OFF" or "TRACK 1" or the radio station...i get like 4 dash marks. the screen is usually blank. and then 1 of those annoying messages pop up. Ransomly...the music will come on....after countless times of turning the power on and off. some times i have to turn the car off a few times, but that doesnt always work either. It just...comes on as it feels like it, so it seems.

All i know is that it is pissing me off a lot. this weekend, i pulled over, disconnected my battery and hoped that maybe it would help? didnt....but randomly about 20min later, the system was working fine again.

One day leaving the parking lot, all i could hear was the sub...so i kept turning it off and on and then everything was okay. some times i will get my station or the track number up on the screen, but no sound will come off.

ughh...well tonight i disconnected the amp...maybe that will make a difference.

tomorrow when i start her up, i hope its going to work or i am going to be veryyyyy upset.

any suggestions? any experiences like this? any help would be awesome!

thanks in advance,
will
