Also noticed that when the radio is haveing this issue the open door chimes also are very weak or do not work.

What kind of radio does a Silverado have?

Have a 07 silverado with factory radio and cd player. Radio works and then does not work. Or I should say it works but at a very low volume level and only through the roof post speakers.
