Head unit power loss on radio

[Pieman7]

Hi all a friend of mine is in the club and before you say it no he's not expecting!. He has a c4s 2002 and has been having trouble with the head unit. He has taken it back to the indie who supplied the car and they changed the p.c board in it. But every now and then it still switches off on its own sometimes more often than others. He tells me also that it stayed on even when the car was switched off so he had to get out the car lock it then unlock it to turn the unit off. Now I know there's some very clever guys on here may be someone can help. Don't let the in and out of the car stuff throw you it's the intermittent power loss that the main issue.

I would suspect the ignition switch. They are often the cause of that type of electricl gremlin. There is a DIY in the Technical Articles section. A good quality Hella (original fitment) switch is about £20, so it won't break the bank to try it.
