Well it has been about a month now with no radio. I went around a turn pretty hard one day and then the radio just stopped working. And has not worked since. I have looked into everything that i could possible check and have found nothing out of the usual. Any ideas why it just died out of the blue? It is an after market radio and its just may be of old age but i find that hard to believe.
 
Was it wired-in with harness adapters, or was the factory harness cut?
First suspect is a short, of course. Finding it is similar to mining diamonds. Lots and lots of digging and sifting. Start with the fuse block and work outward.
 
follow defiant's advice.. describe how it is acting.. does it even show standby, any signs of life from the deck?

if there is a rest button on the deck, reset it. thats the least work and maybe that will fix it.. if not, a little more work would be to pull the deck and check fuse as defiant says on the deck.. if thats fine, check the wiring..
 
Well everything works shows the time and everything but there a no sound. It is wired with a harness right now I'll check tomorrow for any shorts in the speaker wires.
