Default Install New Radio

I have a '79 gas ezgo marathon cart. I just installed a newer radio and now the radio doesn't play any sound when driving. As soon as the cart is stopped music plays again. The radio never shuts off completly. just the sound. Power is run through the key switch and constant comes directly from battery. any Info would be great. had older radio in that would play static when driving but not cut out completly

Try switching the wires around, I had a similar problem. Mine would cut out completely though. I had to switch them around until I was able to get it to stay on while going.

I did like you did, I ran one of the wires and the memory wire to the battery and the other to the switch. I can't remember which one I ran to the battery and which one I ran to the switch though.

tried hooking my power up though constant power already. Still got the same problem. if i hook the constant power up though the switch i will lose presets everytime i turn the key off. It's not a wiring problem. I think its a power loss problem. considering adding an additional battery and Isolator. has anyone tried this b4?

I was thinking about old cars, and a capacitor that was sometimes needed because of interference from the alternator. http://www.dieselduck.info/machine/0...terference.htm


I would also run the cart at speed, and check the voltage at your battery to make sure the voltage regulator is working. Does your battery die a lot?

my battery never dies and the cart runs very well. Probably better than most of my friends. the only problem is the loss of sound when in motion. will be trying to test voltage when i get some free time. is there anything i should know about testing to see if the voltage regulator is working properly?
