Default Radio shorting?

Hello I have a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with a factory unit, navigation system.

So I need some help....My car radio stops playing music @ level 27 (it's max level is 45). The GPS still functions, etc.

At first I suspected that my rear passenger speaker had blown and was somehow shorting out the radio, so I removed it. That did not fix the problem.

I then thought perhaps it was the amp fuse for the radio. I replaced that fuse. Same issue.

Replaced the actual radio fuse in car cabin. Same issue follows.

I then noticed if I unlocked my doors the radio kicks back in ( I know wtf). However, if I turn the radio up past 27 it fizzles out and I have to hit the door unlock button to continue to make the radio portion play music.

Just for ****s and giggles I replaced the fuse for the door lock. Radio issue follows.

Anyone have any ideas? Grounding? I don't know at this point. It's a long drive to work, and would like to use my radio.

Default Yes

Turned out the internal amp on the radio blew, oddly cause a short in the electrical system. I ended up replace the radio and everything returned to normal.
