I sent this request a few days ago and only received help for the clock problem. What I really need is for somebody to suggest where I go to correct my radio problem. Any suggestions?????????

My ‘88 RX-7 has an interesting electrical problem I hope someone might be able to help me with or at least lead me in the right direction. My after-market radio/CD player, on occasion, cycles on and off with the ignition key off. It’s not the radio because it happened with the unit I just replaced also. It doesn’t happen every time but seems to be happening more often than before. The only other electrical problem that I have is my clock doesn’t work most of the time. Some times it comes on but not often. That has been a problem for some time now, so I don’t think it’s connected with the radio problem. Does anybody have any suggestions on what the cause of the radio problem might be? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

#1 Radio is bad or improperly wired if it is coming on while the key is off.

#2 Clock/warning panel is bad and requires re-soldering or replacement (I do have rebuilt ones on my webstore).
