radio fades out in about 10 seconds Mustang 5.0 1993

radio has power,

but when you turn it on, it has sound for about 5 to 10 seconds then goes quiet all channels

One time it fixed itself, then it started doing it again.

Any Idea?

Thanks

Could have a bad part which works fine UNTIL it heats up and then breaks the circuit. OEM radio? or a DIY stereo? Amp? Watts? The possibilities are many but the information is scarce.

OEM, I'll try replacing the fuse, could be one of the speaker wires is pinched somewhere Has the radio got a breaker in line or fuse? I can look it up, got the schematics, scanned them in from a manual, but they are still hard to use.

New aftermarket units go for under $100 and sound ten times as good as the OEM unit, not to mention they'll play CDs. So skip a nice dinner for two and get a decent unit.

I upgraded with an AMFM CD Controller and a 12 disc CD. But, I went with Custom Auto Sound, which some people hate and some like, just to avoid cutting the dash of my 65 FB. Added a graphic equalizer (in the glove box) an amp in the trunk, kick panel speakers, and a sound bar across the back behind the rear seat (fold down). Sounds fine to me. Added an FM modulator which allows me to plug in a portable CD/DVD player and run the sound through the car stereo system. (Could also do that with iPod, MP3, even a Walkman cassette player.
