mine goes on an off sometimes when I push on the face of the deck, maybe pushing or tapping it will help. Same thing happens with my HVAC controls, likely a ground issue

It's a blown fuse def. Just get a test light and check them, they don't have to be burnt to be blown. Ur radio and cig plug plolly share the same constant power fuse.
