Default Radio Help Please

Hey guys so I need some help with my 02 X-type stock radio

It plays nothing, no sound whatsoever. I have removed a door panel and tested with another speaker and still nothing. I haven't pulled the radio. I am curious what you would do. Should I look at fuses/amp/wiring/back of radio/speakers again? It's been like this too long and drives are wayyy too boring

After I put the Borla exhaust system on my Corvette, I didn't want to listen to the radio for a long time. I can just imagine what a Borla would sound like on a supercharged like mine.

Check fuses first , then pull the amp/radio and see if it's even plugged in. Does the radio light up and look like it's working?

Unfortunately this ole 3.0 doesn't have quite the tone of a borla supercharged corvette hahah
Any ideas if I should be looking at fuse block under the hood or in trunk? Or just the under dash one?

Radio turns on, looks like it should work, changes channels everything

I can't really say about yours since mines from a different generation. I have the manual for the 2010 on up XJ but not yours I'm afraid. Since the radio appears normal I'd be thinking it has a separate amp and that's where to look. Mine has the B&W system and the manual shows the amp on the left side of the trunk. I would guess the fuse is there. Wish I could point you right at it but maybe that will get you started.
