What brand is it? I would guess that it is just broken internally from large hits like coming down real hard on the suspention. If you smack it on the side when it is not working does it turn back on? If so, something probly got diconnected inside. If it is still under warranty you can call the manufacturer. I would call even if it wasnt.

Most likely 's one of your speakers or the wires going to them. If any of the speaker wires get grounded it will shut the audio portion of your deck off but the stereo will stay on. Check the wires from the deck to the speaker and look for any bare spots that could be grounding out.

Yes, good point. Alot of times people will wire them by just wrapping Electrical tape around the wires or they will use wire nuts, used for wiring a house.
They should have a very good crimp connection or be soldered together.
