Default Radio won't turn on..

ok wise electronic dudes(and dudettes), here's a strange one:

about once a month, my after market radio won't turn on..

i need to go and pull the radio fuse and re-seat it in the fuse block.

it only happens when i start the car--never while driving..

if there was a short or loose wire, why would pulling the fuse fix the problem?

confused..

I get the same thing with mine, but only with lockpick v2 installed. I can get it to restart by turning off the jeep, pulling the key, putting it back in crank to batt and then hit the power button on the head unit. Also tends to happen when it's really cold out. Once a month at most.
