2015 Pete 367 dump truck has a Delphi concert class dae500 radio all fuses are good pulled radio have constant and switched power to radio yet the radio shuts off every hour on the hour and no it doesn’t have a sleep timer on it unless you have to press multiple buttons at the same time to get to that option personally I’m thinking a bad connection or solder joint inside the radio itself does anyone have input on this and does anyone have any knowledge on the internals of the radio ie common places for them to brake the connection inside because they want 500 bucks for a new one and I’m not about to ask my employer to spend that kind of money on a creature comfort if it comes to it I’ll just buy an el cheapo from Walmart and wire it in but I’d like to keep the factory radio works great everything functions as it should other than the hourly shut off

@D.Tibbitt is right it’s typical Paccar crap. Your truck might have them misplaced since it’s a bit older, but the new ones in the glove box come with 2 little prong tools in a ziploc baggie. You insert these into the 2 little holes on either side of the face of the radio and pull it out. Mine had a loose connection in the back.
Phantom Trucker and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
I’ve had this same issue with a Pete 579 and again with a Kenworth T880. Both had it in cycles. (Turns off every 60 minutes like clockwork then one day it corrects itself and that lasts a few months then back to turning off on it’s own again).

Maybe it's for safety...to make sure your awake and paying attention.

That removes the face or the radio from the dash? Because I can slide the whole radio outta the dash no problem if that’s what you mean

If it happens when stopped & ignition switch is in Accesory position, I suspect it's a "battery saver" feature. Here's a link to manual fir the DEA 500 radio.

2022 579 with the same issue.
Turn it on at the radio with the engine running and after 1 hour it turns off. Turn it on with the interface in the sleeper and it stays on all day.
It also goes in cycles for months at a time where it stays on, then back to the hourly shut off.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
