Hi Guys,

I was doing a pretty routine job of replacing a the working stock radio for a new modern radio. Everything was going fine until and the radio was functional until I started packing the wires and radio into the cosole at which point the radio went dead and I cannot get it back - I switched the fuse in the new radio, looked at all of the fuses in both pannels under the dash and even tried reinstalling the old radio without luck.

SO my question is - am I stupid and just missed a fuse in the panel or is there another location where there is a radio fuse.

Thanks for your help!

Ted

I''m having a similar problem on my 1990 xjs 3.6.

In my case the problem was caused by playing Guns and Roses at full blast (Maybe there is a taste function I dont know about)

I used a volt meter and there is no power going to the memory wire, the fuel/distance computer is also not storing data as resets itself every time the car is started.

Checked all fuses I could find. The manual does not list a radio fuse.
