I've got a Clarion CD player I bought back in 1999, can't remember the model number, but just today it started to randomly shut off and on while I'm driving. It's not as if it's a lose power connection or anything, because even after it shuts off I can still eject CD's. Although normally when my deck is often it will still display the clock, but not anymore. My deck also still displays "Good Bye" when it shuts off, so it's planning to shut off ? Then it will randomly come back on and even say "Welcome". The only thing I can think of is maybe the deck is overheating and it's a protection thing that it shuts off. Any ideas?
UPDATE: Today when the deck shut off I lowered the faceplate and touched the deck. It was extremely hot, I couldn't hold my finger there longer than a couple of seconds.

Sounds like you found the problem. When a Deck gets too hot it shuts itself off till it gets just under its maximum operating temp then turn back on and keep doing this. Might have to figure out a way to cool down the deck from behind somehow.

are you using the stock grounding location they are never sufficient enough I would recommend you check your ground last time mine started doing that the ground had rusted and it wasn’t grounded good enough so just check on that and that is probably what the problem is
