I have a 1997 Chrysler Town and Country and am having problems with the radio. After I hook up the battery cables the radio works for about 15 minutes or so then quits working. All the other electronics work ok. If I stop and remove the battery cables and hook them back up the radio comes on again for a little bit. What gives?

Might need to pull the radio out and check for power and grounds while the radio is dead using a volt meter. When it cuts off check to see if your missing power and/or ground. If you have power and ground, more than likely there is a problem with the radio itself.

Connector 1

Red/White wire....Ignition on 12 volts
Pink wire......Hot all the time 12 volts


Connector 4

Ground......should have close to .05 volts with radio operating.

Re: 1997 Chrysler Town and Country Sign In
if you are going to pull the whole thing out, might as well purchase a new radio, something higher end than stock Wink
