Doug, others ... If you -do- have a situation where the audio IC is looking into a shorted load and still working ... remember, mine and another ran for months before the audio IC failed.
With your radio turned on, remove the top cover and look inside at the extreme left top corner of the board closest to the shield. Note if there is discoloration of the edge of the board above the large IC and / or stick your finger in and touch the IC. Sniff the area for the tell-tale smell of hot glass epoxy circuit board. If it is like mine you'll test your reaction time, as the IC will most likely be far too hot to touch. 73!
