How can I fix my car radio so it can work 100% of the time?

Asked by GuruXY1ZB Oct 08, 2018 at 08:54 PM about the 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier LS Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car radio works about 20% of the time. When it doesn't work, it shows that it
is on and getting electricity. It just gives me a white noise. If I hit a bump just
right or if I hit it, it will start working again. After some time I will lose signal. It
sounds like a wire is loose but I have no idea on how to go about fixing it.

Find all the electrical and antenna connections and make sure they fit well and don't have corrosion.

You need it REPAIRED It is probably cheaper to get another one at a pick-n-pull
