The factory stereo on our 98 Expedition recently began acting weird. If the key is turned on it works fine. As soon as the truck is started there is nothing, not even the clock works. If the truck is turned off and then back to on the radio is off, but will turn on and work fine by using the on button. However as soon as the truck is started the problem repeats itself. All other electrical components are working normally and each fuse labeled radio in the owners manual has been checked and is good. Any thoughts before I take it to the dealer?
Thanks in advance, Don

I'd troubleshoot the ignition switch before taking it to a dealer, who will do that anyway.
