Thanks for your two cents DR1665. You're absolutely right...that does go without saying. One thing though...the radio has been in the car for about a year and half now. I don't have a cap, amp, psp, ps2, or a tv. And I got rid of the quisinart a long time ago. The last thing to be installed into the car was a replacement motor in Feb. Ever since then I've had random problems arise at random times. I don't know why this post has been moved. My question is regarding why the car is dead...the radio problem is just one of many symptoms. Anyways, I've read alot of your posts on this site and it's very apparent that you know your stuff. If you could, please read my posts again and try giving my a few more cents.

Thanks.

James
