Radio Power Relay

When I press the radio power on toggle the radio will come on for as long as I hold down the toggle. 'Sometimes'. Other times it works OK. Sometimes the radio power will not go off unless I press the toggle several times.

There's a relay somewhere that's not working properly and I'd like to replace it myself. I'm sure I can get one from Mouser or somewhere.

Does anybody know where it is and which relay it is?

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't. I would like to say that the radio in our Bounder is a real dud, however. Hopefully someone with something helpful to contribute will be along shortly.

I found it.

with the help of wiring schematics Fleetwood sent me (Great customer service by the way) I found the radio power monoplex. It's under and to the right of the radio tucked in behind an air duct. It has 5 white and unmarked wires going into it.

I found them online between $42 and $56. But based on the testing I was able to do I think the real problem is one of the switches.

I have another "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't" with the radio on my 2008 Expedition. When it was not working, I checked all the usual things: connections, ground etc., and next on the list was the wires to the speakers. With the radio turned on, but no sound, the front speaker wires were all connected so I went to check the bedroom speakers. When I turned on the overhead light in the bedroom, sound booms out of the radio. I have no idea why, but when the radio does not work, I go turn on the bedroom overhead lights and it works. Don't know if this will help anyone since it is probably a gremlin particular to my rv.
