We are having trouble turning on the radio. The clock lights up, but the radio will not turn on. We keep turning the on/off botton on and then off until it finally comes on.
Once it's on, it stays on.
When the car is restarted, we have to do the same again, even if the radio was left "on".
I checked fuse 20. It appears to be fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Chances are one of the soder joints on the on / off switch has come loose and not working properly. You will need to remove the radio, take it apart and check for a bad joint.

Let me know what you find.
