The radio was working fine. Then the relay started to make funny clicking noises. Then the display went blank but the controls still worked. Now the radio went dead alltogether. Any ideas? I also still need the tuning manual for this radio if I get it working again.
Thanks
Warren

Make sure that your voltages on your little green wire and Red 8 gauge are identical. I have seen many freaky problems with Maratracs and the only resolution is to hook the green wire at the exact same spot as the red 8 gauge wire. If there is 4 tenths of a volt diffrence between the red 8 gauge and the green wire the radio will go bonkers.
