Radio shuts off

More info on the year and model of unit would be helpful.

Check the condition of your battery with a load tester. My CDR-23 just went dead until I got home and shut down engine. Then it came back on with a few pushes.

Then my 6 year old battery began to slow crank the engine and finally died. Replaced battery and radio is now fine fine.

Sounds to me like the contacts are dirty and the unit thinks the front door is down (open.) Try taking a pencil eraser and a q-tip with alcohol on it and cleaning the contacts.
