There were 2 loose connections in the most important part of the wiring, the battery to the distribution blocks. The old shop decided to cut some corners and shove (2) 4 gauge wires into one 4 gauge connector and attach it to the battery. They put electrical tape over it followed by the rubber connector cover so I never saw it until last week. I cut that part off and got 2 different connectors for each wire from each distribution block to the battery. It fixed it for about a week and then it started happening again. The wire at the distribution block still seemed to turn the music on after wiggling it around so I figured the problem was there (JL amp kit). The guy at the new shop gave me all new connections, crimped them down good (which wasnt done before) and had me try the music again. Same thing happened.
He then took the cover off of the distribution block and felt the screws that hold the fuse down and they were completely loose. Something the old shop TWEETER never checked. Those arent the screws that hold down the wires so I never thought the problem would be there. He tightened them up and now it works perfectly with no shutting off. I almost bought a cap or a new alternator because Tweeter cut corners and didnt check the stuff they should have. The guy said it was the 2nd time in the last month that somebody came in with the exact same problem. No wonder they went out of business. Thank God I finally have consistent music now. It was driving me insane.
