I had the car sitting for over two years. I though I did a good job of storing it. Anyway, the radio won't turn on. Seems to have power at the 4 pin plug, there's power on one side of the fuse with the fuse cover off, and the fuse itself checks out with a test light.

What do you think I should look at to get it to work? It worked fine when I parked the car.

Check the fuse in the back of the radio. It may have blown as the antenna, or radio woke up after a long period of no use.

I had the same problem and am trying to find the right replacement fuse.

I tried a 3.15 amp slow-blow from Radio Shack, and it worked. I am nervous that this is too much, though.

The fuse was good. The radio is toast. I can smell the burned inards.

Don't know what happened.

Another lister sold me one and is on the way.
