Default Luckily radio Dies but is easily fixed

I hit a bump a few weeks ago and the radio went off, I looked at the faceplate and it showed "CHRYSLER" and it came back on again.
Today I hit another bump and the radio went off again, but this time it did not come back on.
I looked at fuses #5 and #8, I found #8 was blown. After it was replaced the radio worked fine again.
Does anyone know why the radio would have a problem with bumps in the road.
This is the first problem I have had with the car in 4 years and 8 months, that is not bad in my books. I wish all problems were this trivial.

The Dodge Durango I traded in on my crossfire last month had the same issue when we bought it new. The cable in the back was just a little loose. It was super cold out when we picked it up and the dealership said the wires must have got stiff and worked their way out just a little bit.

Hope this Helps!
Cory

Pull Radio Check Connection And Also Make Sure No Wires Were Shaffing To Cause A Short

I'm hoping Dave it has nothing to do with the installation!

I had a quick look but nothing was obvious.

Why would it? It was done by a pro.
