The radio will turn on and off by itself, losing all date and time coding, but not radio presets. It can be on for weeks at a time or seconds. I have replaced the fuse and it did not fix the issue.

Hello,

Chances are the problem is with the radio but to be sure you should use a test light on the power and ground circuits while you drive to see if they flicker.

Here is a guide and a wiring diagram to get you started.

Please let us know what happens.
