hot to the touch radio

Hi. Has anyone had a problem with the radio on a 1998 tahoe being hot to the touch? How do you fix it?
thanks

Never heard of that, chances are there is a short of some type in the Radio, I have a extra radio if you need one.

My 2001 Lt is the same way, when it lights up at night, the buttons are almost too hot to touch, i just figured its from the back lighting.

When I replaced my factory radio (w/ a pioneer xm), I noticed a nice sized fan on the back of my oem radio. Perhaps there is a fan on yours that is not working correctly?

I have noticed when the interior light brightness is truned all the way up mine will get hot. If you turn the brightness down a little the heat will go away.

I have an 01 Lt Tahoe that does the same thing....I figured it was from back lighting as well...Want to go aftermarket anyways
