Stereo Shut Off/Lost Power

[TeamGomez]

Couldn't find any info around these parts on a weird electrical gremlin that manifested itself on my way home from my first 700 mile roundtrip in the Shelby.

I was 3 miles from home on the RTB when the stereo shut off and the head unit lost all power. I could not turn it back on via the power button. After about 90 seconds, it came back on all by itself as though nothing happened. Outside temp in the 80's with mid 90's first 3 hours of 5.5 hr RTB.

I thought maybe a relay got warm and failed but who knows. I reset the polarity magnifier just in case (the one that is right next to the sine wave attenuator modulating FM band radio waves).

Any ideas? First time it has happened in 4k miles of ownership albeit this was the first 'extended range' travels.

Aside from that, driving this car never gets old, tiring or boring (especially when a big rig blows a tire 40' in front of me one lane over and the tread departs and rolls right in front of me...thank God the lane to my left was clear as I did a 4G bat turn to avoid said tread that would have seriously F-ed up the beak!)

Same happens to mine once in a blue moon.

My 2020 w/12k miles did this a few weeks ago.

The power loss option has happened to me as well. Twice now. To note I do have an Anti-Gravity battery. This could be causing the issue? I have since gotten a CTEK lithium battery charger.

I am of no help on this question, and this might be the reason why:

I have owned the car since August of 2019, and I saw two knobs on the dash that I figured were defective.

First, there is the one that said "VOL". Well, I figured it meant Variable Occupant Lighting. I figured it was the interior dome light dimmer switch.
The font would have been a lot smaller if they tried to fit "DIMMER" on that knob!

Second, the knob just 8 -10 inches to the right of the "VOL" knob said "TUNE". There was no obvious acronym for that one.
So, I figured it was a suspension tuning adjustment:"Comfort/Sport/Track".

Neither of those two knobs EVER changed a thing, no matter what I did with them.
