papuc (MMI S4)

drove my car, parked it, at the time the radio worked just fine.

next time i started the car the radio didnt get power. i pulled the fuse, replaced it and the radio worked again.

however, parked it turn the car off, turned it back on and the radio was dead again. checked the fuse again and the fuse was just fine!

got home removed the radio and replaced the fuse in the back of the radio. pluged the radio back in started the car and it worked.

this time the radio worked fine for a day or two and then died again. check both fuses, they were fine but i decided to replaced them anyways. again the radio died for no reason.

I didnt have the windows tinted or anything so no water on the AMP, pushed all the wires back in and still nothing.

Does anyone have any experiance with this, any possible solution or do i have to replace the whole radio?

ANY ideas are welcomed!

I was hoping that someone had put the wrong fuse in there on you, but it looks like it's something else...

I was thinking though, if it was noticeably warmer when the radio wasn't working there might be a chance that you have an intermittent ground issue or something odd going on with the wiring.


Good luck, let us know what you find out.

it has been getting hotter in CA. but the radio works/doesnt work regardless of how the weather is.

My CD changer had a short in it that was blowing out the fuses on the radio.
