I have a 2015 Mack Pinnacle I've been driving for the past month. I went to hook up my Galaxy 98VHP CB up to the two power poles on the dash board and everything worked great. The CB powered on, everything was clear no issues. about a week later I was on the phone with a friend of mine and we decided to hang up the phones and use our CBs since we were about a mile from each other going in the same direction. I powered the CB on and used it for about 5 mins then when I squeezed the Mic my radio died and the CB lost power. I figured I blew the fuse but the radio came back on after I pressed the power button but the CB wouldnt, I figured I blew the fuse on the back of the radio but when I got home it was fine. I hooked it to 12v and it worked fine. Im guessing it was too powerful for the truck. My question is How do I get those power nuts on the dash working and my Radio working properly now? are there any fuses that the radio and CB share? Since that happened Ive had to manually power the Radio on and when I shut the truck off it have to press the power button to shut it off. sometimes while driving the Radio will cut off and not turn on until I unhook my USB Thumb drive (music is on it) and press the power button to get it back on. Its becoming a PITA. Anyone experience this?
