Question 05 Tundra Radio Speakers go out. - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I have an 05 Tundra, and when I hit a bump, the radio goes out. Everything appears to be working on the display, but the sound is gone. It doesn't matter if it is the radio or a CD I'm listening too. Then I'll hit another bump and it will come back on. I figure there is a loose wire somewhere, but I don't know how to take the radio out to check the speaker connections on the back. If that even is what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone had this problem?

Well, I was able to get my radio out, and while I was taking it out I heard a rattle inside it. I opened the radio expecting to find a loose screw, but instead I found a penny bouncing around inside. I have no clue how it got in there... It must have come from the factory with the penny inside and just now broke free to bounce around and short out my speakers. I removed the penny, and so far everything is working and the speakers stopped going out. STRANGE!

It literally 'sounds' like you figured it out w/o any help from TS. Anyway, welcome aboard and hope to see some more posts / pix.
