    15 Grand Caravan radio cuts out..

    My friends 2015 Grand Caravan, radio cuts out for a few seconds, then comes back... He had someone play with the antenna wires AM/Fm and XM.. it seemed to help... SO they jammed a screw by the antenna connectors and that works for about 2 months... Now its doing it again... I popped the cover off ad re-flowed both connectors... No joy... Any radio techs that can lead me in the right direction ?

    Re: 15 Grand Caravan radio cuts out..

    I had a Daimler-Chrysler radio that failed, turned out the local oscillator/mixer module failed due to some internal intermittent connection. Reflowing didn't help. Radio had tons of bad caps in it too. I ended up tossing the radio. Too many custom parts or at least obscured parts in the radio to do anything with it...

    ended up getting another $2 car radio that was also broken, at least the radio portion works. It's for interim use so I could still pick up OTA stations until I can find another one that I like better.

      clock radio / radio lifespan?
      by shelby5041
      hi
      ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old

      my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?

      since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.

      the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours

      it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...

      Schematic vs. Reality: Where Are the Resistors on My Sharp Clock Radio? Model FY-70CH
      by TinkerTron
      Hey everyone,

      I'm currently working on a mid-70s Sharp Electronic Digital Clock Radio, Model FY-70CH. I found the service manual online, printed it out, and have been studying it for a while. My main reasons for tackling this are: (1) I want to learn electronics and figured I'd start with something I had on hand, and (2) I want to fix its issues. Right now, the radio sounds awful, has about 5V DC at the speaker terminals, and the alarm time setting doesn't work. But I'm not asking how to fix these problems.

      Instead, here's what's been bugging me so far:
      The schematic...
