Default Radio Problem

Hope someone has had this before I am out of ideas. I have an 84 and the radio was working fine. Then the speakers cut out, turn the radio off and on they come back on. Drive a while all speakers go out, then 1 comes on then a second, then all 4 without touching the radio. Then they all go out. The display is fine and getting power. I sent the radio out, had it repaired it did the same thing, tried another radio still does the same thing. I would hate to think that all of the sudden I have 4 bad speakers. Anyone had this before?

thanks

joe

it's the relay.... according to my book, it's behind the right hand side of the IP... I really don't know where it is... This might help...

If I'm not mistaken, based on the diagram, that would be the relay on the passenger side firewall, just outside the plastic cover the AC/heater hoses enter.

Thank you both for the responses, this looks like the problem. My book does not show a speak relay at all. Been looking on the vette online stores for an hour and only 2 of them have it.

thanks again

GM uses the same relay for all relays in the car... they are Bosch relays.

if you want, remove the headlight relay and put that in its place.

The manual you need is the helms manual... www.helminc.com

PM me... I have it in PDF format... but it's HUGE.
