About a year ago, my radio started cutting out for a split second, then returned. It would repeat a few times, then the problem disappeared. But, over time, it became more frequent. Now, it is almost constant power off-on-off-on-off-on. Sometimes is stays off completely. It is not position or movement dependent. It surely isn't a fuse because that would cut the power completely. So, is it the radio? Or, is it a loose connection that could be tightened? If so, where?

the only connection is at back of radio unless it has been modified check the braided ground strap at center of dash for being broken etc. it imay be the radio though. fuse 4 and 19 are fuses in junction box for it. it cold be a poor connection there as well.
