Stereo Problem: hit bump, radio off
Hey guys,
I was driving on the 405 last week, and I hit a bump. The radio goes off permanently.
After having it checked out by the dealer, they replaced a fuze and all is well.
It happened again yesterday. Right wheel hits bump, radio goes off permanently.
Any ideas? I've never heard of a fuze going out because of hitting a bump.
Thanks,
Jerry

Don't hit bumps!
Seriously, there's a bare connection somewhere that is making ground and blowing that fuse. Take the radio out and inspect the harness and any other wiring in the area. Check the radio jack for excess movement or bent pins.

If a ground wire is connected to the chasis and its comes loose from the headunit and them hits a live power wire it will cause the fuse to blow ...
I have to agree with chadfo ... Don't hit and bumps ... go around them! lol!

yeah definitely have to fix the wiring.. call scion and let them know what's going on.. even if you put in an aftermarket radio same thing will happen.. you've got a short somewhere, make em fix it.. first call scion.. watch things get fixed, not fuses just replaced (aka lazy)..

mine does the same thing... goes off for a week sometimes and sometimes automatically comes on, it will stay on after i turn off the car sometimes too... the fuse isnt blown, i took it out and put it back in and all is fine.. it did it with my first cd player.. i have the 6disc and it also did it with my second, my second one comes on a lot more though.. i took it to the dealer to get it fixed, im going to go back soon, something is wrong with the cd players

well i know the guys personally and they cant figure it out... when they took out my original 6 disc they gave me a single disc and that had no problems whatsoever, a week later i got another 6 disc and then like 4 days later it happened

Hey guys,
I wanted to say thank you very much for all your replies. I am amazed at the involvement and the care displayed by all who posted answers.
Right now, they are looking into it. My dealership gave me a rental care to drive while they figure out the puzzle.
Please take care and have fun.
