Chrysler 97 T&C Infinty Stereo problem

Hopefully someone has dealt with this and can advise me. The radio on my
97 T&C has been cutting out periodically (usually when the volume was
turned up) and it would not stay off but a moment. However it cut out
yesterday and stayed off, clock and all. I have checked the fuse and it
is okay. I am uncertain what to look at next. Any help on this is
greatly appreciated.

 

I once had a 1990 minivan that came with the Infinity premium radio/cassette
and it had a similar problem. Turned out to be a speaker relay that closed
about 1 second after the radio was turned on. I did not have a service
manual, and found the relay by listening to locate the faint click from
in/under the dash when I turned on the radio. The relay was (at that time)
a $10 part available from the dealer. The old relay contacts were badly
corroded and it looked like it needed replacement once I located it.

I have no idea if this is your problem or if that vintage of T&C still used
a powered speaker relay or not, but I wanted to share my experience in case
it could be of help to you.

Good luck!

Bob
