Radio No Sound Fuse Fixes Temporary

I have a 2002 Slk230 the sound for the radio is not working except when I adjust the fuses but that is only temporary. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make it work permanently without me having to adjust the fuses each time the sound goes out?

Thanks
Ronald

What exactly do you mean by "adjusting the fuses". If fiddling with them brings the radio back on it seems to me you are losing power to the radio because the fuse holders are tired and won't hold the fuse tight. If the fuse is loose you end up with an open circuit on power to the radio unless I am missing something here.

Thanks for the reply, what I mean when I say adjusting is that I press down on the fuses but they are tight because they are hard to get out. This process doesn't always work I tried a couple of times to press down on the fuses to make sure the fuses are all the in each slot sometimes the radio comes on immediately and sometimes not. Hope this clarifies or answers your question.
