Capri - Radio Fix

I haven't done much to the cars lately as both are going pretty well, although there is always something that can be done. The radio in my green Deluxe as been going off & on as there as been some intermittent power supply problem. In other words, a possible loose wire somewhere.
Not wanting to remove the parcel tray & mine has a fair bit of cloth tape with it, I decided that I would try and see what was going on by removing the ash tray & the small panel to the right of it.



This wasn't much help as I could not see the wires leading to the back of the radio. So to Plan B. I decided to try to take out the radio through the front of the dash. So the front cover plate came off & guess what? On trying to find the wires, the radio fell back inside under the dash.



Using a long set of pliers, I managed to get it back & put it back in the slot. That was enough for me as I did not want to mess around with pulling everything else out, so I just put the radio front back on & screwed the ash tray & panel back in place.
I turned on the key & guess what? The radio worked just fine & hasn't stopped since. So work that out!
That's my maintenance for the week!
