There is a main power line to the radio that allows it to play properly. There is a smaller keep alive line that allows the radio to retain channel presets and correct times. That line is not connected or powered properly at key off.

What causes radio to cut out in 99 suburban radio has power no sound Ive tried a second known good radio any ideas?

I have a '95 Suburban and thought I had fried my aftermarket radio's internal amp, however after buying a new radio I still had the same problem. I then reinstalled the factory radio and the front and rear doors starting working again. A couple days later the rear doors starting working also. I then reinstalled my aftermarket radio and everything worked fine for a few weeks until one day I heard a pop and a fizz before all the stock speakers went out. Replaced the factory radio again until all the speakers worked, then installed the aftermarket. This time it only lasted a few days. Now only the fronts will play with the factory radio and none of the factory speakers function with the aftermarket. The problem is with the suburban's factory amps. My research has only came up with one amp for the 95 and prior suburbans and later models having two amps. Just like any other audio component, they go bad over time. It was too frustrating having to carry my factory radio just in case the factory amp fizzes out. I'm fed up and a factory replacement is nearly as much as an aftermarket. Therefore I am currently in the process of rewiring all of my speakers directly to an aftermarket multi-channel amp. Guess I'll upgrade the speakers while I'm in the process. Fix the problem for good and not have to worry anymore.

I have an 89 Dodge Power ram that drains battery while sitting in the yard What can cause this?

A drain somewhere, such as a light that's always on or an accessory that is drawing off the auxillary power I have the same problem with an 84 D100. I found the easiest solution was to put a battery cut off switch on the battery. I disconnect it with the switch when I won't use it for more than a couple of days. I bought mine at pep boys for under $20, took only a couple of minutes to put on. Really made that problem a non issue. Only downside is it won't save my radio stations.

Is the door lock fuse the one marked accessory in ipm box on a 2005 dodge caravan?

No. If the locks are inoperative you probably need to have the software updated in the BCM at the dealer. This is a very common problem. To fix the problem of the automatic door locks not working anymore - I had the same problem. I found the answer on-line and you can fix it yourself in just a couple of minutes. Remove the fuse cover under the hood. Locate the 20amp IOD fuse and remove it. Wait a couple of minutes and plug it back in. This should fix the problem. The fix worked for me about 8 months before I had to do it again.
