I just spoke to my local dealer. He said this is a common problem. It
is usually caused by the speaker ground coming in contact with the
chassis ground. He has seen it happen where the harness enters the
door. Measure resistance between the speaker ground lead and the
chassis. It should read open. A fairly low resistance value indicates
a short and should be tracked down. Pls let me know what you find. Joe

<< My 98 has a radio problem (non infinity). At first I thought a speaker
was turning off and on but know I feel it a problem with stereo on the
radio. Everything will seem normal then all of a sudden it will sound
great as if you just turned on surround sound or something. After a
few minutes it reverts to bland sound again. Anyone seen this? Joe >>
The radio in my 98 does the exact same thing, but not on all songs. It's
tolerable, but it's kind of been driving me nuts and I can't get it to
replicate the problem all the time, so I think the dealer would tell me I'm
nuts when I bring the truck in so I haven't brought it back yet.
