05 Radio Problems!

[RTillery]

My buddy from Texas has an 05 Laramie and is getting pretty exasperated. He has had in in the dealer 4 or 5 times for the radio conking out. The display works, but no sound comes out of the speakers. It is the 6 CD Infinity system.



The first time they told him it was the plug recepticle so they replaced the radio. Worked for a few days and quit again. He found the passenger side vanity light did not work so he pulled the visor and found the mounting screws were into the wiring. His door locks had been working goofy too. The dealer said aha, the bad wiring had knocked out some control module behind the dash. They replaced that and still no radio, so they replaced the amp and radio worked: for about a week.



He took it back and they said the amp had gone bad and the one they put in may not have been the right one so they replaced it again. He took off on a three week trip, radio worked for three days and it is out again. He is camped on the north side of Phoenix right now and I told him to take it to a dealer there. He has his truck full of personal stuff and is reluctant to unload it all but I think another dealer might have a better shot at fixing it. Any ideas?

My brothers 06 does the same thing. He pulls the fuse for the radio and reinstalls it. The radio works like new. I think he has done it 2 or 3 times. He asked me to check on here to see if anyone else found the problem/fix.

I wonder if the Lemon Law applys to radios?

well, my indash 6 disc died on me last week. . it ate all 6 of the cd's i had in it [would not change disc, would not eject disc] so now while i was at the dealer getting my defrost thing fixed [blend door and actuator on order for it] they put in a new radio for me... however the old player still has my discs in it so i have to wait until the place they send the parts to be refurbished at get my discs out before i get them back



i must say, my local dealer doing all the warrenty work on my truck is doing a good job. no questions asked, even with the gauges i have installed in the dash [i had to fix the pyro yesterday though, their tech crossed the thermalcouple leads to the gauge]

If it's factory installed it does.
