You have a Loose connection somewhere, pull the headunit and check the wiring as well as the battery

Well cleaning grounds could certianly help alot! In the future, if you ever have a weird electrical problem like this, check the battery cables for cracks and tears. i had my radio randomly shut off all the time and it turned out to be my positive battery cable was cracked and making contact with my frame. Glad you found out what it was!

My problem was when starting the engine the radio and clock zeroed out.I checked my battery cables they are okay didn't see any cracks and they don't touch the body. Thanks for your reply.
