Electrical issues?

Good morning everyone. For about 3 weeks now when I hit a decent bump or close my door hard the speakers cut out. If I open and close my door the speakers come back on. When they cut out the stereo itself still works, change stations or cd, but no sound. I was on a couple of days ago and there was talk of the same kind of thing, maybe a bad ground. Went back 12 pages and I can't find the thread. Any help would be great.

Check the connector on the back of the stereo. Spray with electrical cleaner
to ensure good contact.

I did remove the stereo and clean it and checked all speakers. There was a thread a week or so ago that guys had similar problems, some talk about grounds.

Definitely could be a bad ground. I use conductive lube on my electrical connections . Works great.
