The Audio System is acting up. i was cleaning it one day and
listening the radio and the music just fizzed out and that was it; NO
MORE SOUND. when its turned on you hear buzzing and clicking and it
left on your may hear a buzz or two come out the speakers; "that scare
the s**t out on me". So I dont leave it on anymore. But would like to
get it working again and would like some ideas on what maybe be
mucking up on this system.

um, I'd guess you got some cleaning fluid or whatever you were using
in the electrics/electronics.

I was not cleaning the inside of the car............ I was cleaning
the outside. I was having problem with the system before, where it
would not play one day then start back the next. {I was a Deejay for
more than 20 yrs and know how to clean electronics.} I did a few test
today and found the the tape player led read out blinks off and on
when I adjust the balance and fader. Plus there is a clicking sound
when I adjust the dsp , fader and balance. Because I am hearing sound
thru some of the speakers that means the amp is still good and the
problem is somewhere in the front units. If anyone ever had a problem
like this one please let me know what the solution is to fix it.

if you were listening to the radio and it did that you might check
your antenna connections from the antenna and radio and the wire itself
