Toyota Tundra Forum

Brought my truck in for service because of the intermitten volumne controle and the radio shutting off. They are going to replace the radio and I ask why it is happening and service said they don't know other than it is a problem and Toyota is not releasing the "WHY". Seems weird Toyota would not tell the dealer even to let there techs. know whats going on.

They did the same with mine. More than likely they also know the problem. The new one has worked perfectly though. Turned out to be a great fix, and the techs didn't hurt anything else, LOL.

I read somewhere (this forum or another) that it is a bad ground in the radio. Just speculation, of course. However, I am having the same problem. The radio shuts down and starts up on its own up to 10 times a minute. (Live on a dirt road) This sounds consitient with a bad ground situation.

I contacted the dealer and my new radio is on backorder with no known delivery date. I am hoping someone has a homegrown fix so I can listen to some tunes while I wait without having to use the ol' "calibrated tap" to get it going all the time.

I just hit the top of the radio and it worked.
