Default Radio/cd player is cutting in and out

My factory 6 disc radio is cutting in and out and the lights on the player cut in and out when it does it too...what can this problem be, i just got the truck like a week ago but it was working fine up until like 20 mins ago (when i got the truck the radio said cd error but i took the radio out and un jammed the cds and it worked like normal) but there was one wire in the back that was not plugged in to anything it had a bunch of holes for pins (lol sorry im not good with this stuff yet)
Any suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks

pull the radio out, look at the wiring harness, see if anything is loose. play around with it, its hard to tell without a picture from behind the headunit
