Radio Cuts Out After 1 Second

[steveoc]

Hi

 

Good day to you all,

 

I have a problem with my 2007 GRand voyager CRD - UK model

 

The radio (if it works) only comes on for a quick second and then stops again... All the info is on the screen - it simply has no sound???? Whether CD or radio - with CD you get all info and can change tracks etc but nothing on sound???

 

Is there an amp anywhere - as I have pulled out the rear panel on both sides at the back and found nothing...

 

Please, please help - I am tearing my hair out here

 

 

Kind regards

Sounds (no pun) like you may have a cracked cable?

 

Test each....

 

More than likely a crack near the combo blocks - my Brava drove me nuts too. One speaker in rear (left? IIRC) was not working.

 

Cable circuits were ok ..... Move the cable connectors in block - 'bingo'.

 

A real slow checking job, one NOT to do when its raining, cold or you want to use car quickly, as you may have to remove door cards etc.

I am thinking more amp like than cable (I have checked though),  as it when it does come on is only at the start for a second, almost as if the amp cannot handle the load ?

 

It is all the speakers not just one by the way. not a whimper out of the radio.

 

I was told there was an amp at the back of the car, but I have had both sides out.

 

Maybe as a diesel and a lesser model than most its not got a secondary amp / pre-amp ?

 

I want to sell the car, but without a radio - it might be tricky, would like to fix asap.

 

Any other ideas?
