Radio cuts out
 

I have an 89 Sable with a standard radio, no cassette, etc. when i bought it a year ago the radio worked great, now it will only work once in a great while, and when it does, if i play it with very little volume it will play for quite awhile, but if i crank up the volume, not blasting, but "up", it will play for about 1-5 minutes and cut out, never to be heard from again for days and days, i'm guessing the "amp' is wasted? but i am a stereo idiot, whats up with this thing?

Typical FORD radio?:D

ford, linc, merc radios usually hold up really well. and if the amp is shot then you would get no sound, not here and there.... also, I didnt think they had amps in them back then..... I'd replace the radio with an aftermarket one and the run the radio to the speakers directly. you can get a dash kit to make it look nice since, if my memory serves me correctly, the cutout is really different than standard equipment. let me know if you need anything further.
