[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8750158, member: 581422"] I have had a cd5030 in my offroad rig for quite a while. I had an issue that started roughly a year ago where the audio would cut in and out (both the speakers and the sub output). I couldn't find any cause-effect when it would cut out. A few days ago I removed the deck and wiggled the wires at the back but it didn't have any effect. Then, I took the cover off the deck and removed the cd-drive. I disconnected and reconnected each harness/plug from the board to try to create solid connections (sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting wires is enough to clean off corrosion). I connected the deck to my vehicle with the cd-drive still removed, and it played just fine, then I reinstalled the cd-drive and cover and reinstalled the deck in the vehicle, and it continued to play fine. I don't know what I did that solved the issue, but those were the steps I took. When I removed the deck from the dash, I noticed one side was quite a bit warmer than the other despite the lack of output. Like you, I noticed the fan wasn't running when I first removed it, but the fan was running after I reassembled and reinstalled it. I didn't have enough hands to check for voltage at the fan when it wasn't running. Maybe your deck just needs a little percussion-maintenance. It's only been two days, but mine hasn't cut out once since. If you decide to sell it, I'm interested. Hope that helps. - Joe [/QUOTE]
