Default Radio shorts out

Ive searched and it seems like anyone that has had a similiar problem always blows that acc fuse in the fuse block. But mine is fine, I even changed it just in case i couldnt tell if it was blown.. Relays under hood look fine.. radio works randomly, it seems like if i touch a power window.. or top or something it shorts it out.. now it makes no sound.. screen works.. just no sound..


can anyone help me?

your radio is toast. Find a new one.

nope most likesly not bad, if the radio stays on but no sound = the radio is protecting itself by turning off the internal amp (speaker is grounding out at either the wires behind the deck or at the speakers.) Pull the deck out and check your harness, no speaker wires can be touching each other or metal.. Then check the speakers out.

Radio is fine, see it all the time from simple mistakes...
