Why is there no power to my radio?
The most likely cause of a stereo not powering up is a blown fuse. Other causes can be a short in the wiring or other wiring problems. Cars are unforgiving environments for electronics, and vibration, heat and dust can all cause premature failure. Vibration can cause wiring to become loose.

Where are the fuses located on a car?
Look under the panel at the far left end of the dash… The fuse is held inside a black colored fuse holder with tabs to make it easier to pull out of the block. Its purpose is to remove the slight electrical draws that some circuits have even with the key off, like radio (keeps time).
