Dubb Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 So recently my radio started acting really funny. I can be listening to the radio or using a FM transmitter to listen to my own music and the little screen on the deck would freeze up and the radio would be unresponsive. If I was to unplug my battery it would shut off and i can turn it on again but it would do the same thing. I have the stock radio in there and never did do anything to it. One day while going to work it froze up on me and i didn't have a tool to unplug my battery so i just left it as is. after work the car started up fine with the radio still frozen just as i left it. Got home and unplugged the battery and all is good. the next day my battery was dead. i bought a new battery and everything seems a lot better. so my question is, has anyone else experience this ? can a weak battery cause my radio to act funny ? sorry for such a long post.

relative4 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Never heard of that symptom before, but improper voltage can cause just about anything. Have you verified your alternator is good (14V when running)? Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relative4 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Also conceivable your malfunctioning/dying radio was pulling a bunch of amps when it was supposed be turned off, and drained the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
