2000 Taurus radio problem?

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus SE with factory stereo. The radio will suddenly stop working and you never know when it will start working again. I have checked the wiring in the trunk Control Unit and it all seems tight. What else would cause an intermittent problem like this? It may work for a week or may quit 5 minutes after coming back on. The dash unit remains lit up and all information is visible, just no sound.

    I have a 2000 ranger 4x4 and the OEM radio crapped out on me and I replaced it with a pioneer and it all good again. I asked about the OEM and they said it was an internal problem and to get rid of it.

    Does the radio burst off after a hour and does the door ajar gentle stay on the sprint board even as you force? Ford has a function to go away the radio on in some autos until eventually the door is opened on drivers area... meanign the door ajar turn on drivers door is stuck and wanting change (the dome gentle might want to live on also) if not some Ford's had an difficulty with the transmission determination sensor (the sensor that tells the computer what equipment that's in) has in certain situations led to this difficulty notwithstanding the radio continues to be on typically until eventually the vehicle's battery is going lifeless. also i have considered one or 2 radios surely short out internally and live on until eventually it kills the battery also. actual, does the radio stay off once you get in and all until eventually you initiate it.. then gained't burst off until eventually an hour after the nice and cozy button is off and also you've exited the vehicle? If definite.. look into that door ajar change
