I checked the 2 fuses ,5A and 30 A located in the trunk and they are fine, what else could it be ? I would like eventually keep the original radio , I like the vintage look, but connect it to a Back Up camera any thought on the one to buy ?
2003 VDP/SC

 

Which vehicle are we talking about ?

Is the stereo head a Jaguar / Alpine AJ9500A model # ?

 

Yes, what vehicle and year? You only show an XJS, but this is the X308 forum. If it is a 308, there is a good possibility its the rheostat dial (on/off volume) gone south. In which most any electronics repair shop should be able to replace it. Also, you will not be able to connect a backup cam to this unit. In that case you'll have to go 3rd party....that to be continued, depending on what you tell us.

 

Thank you for the reply.Apologies! This is for my 2003 VDP/SC

 

For a 2003 it is a different stereo head then a AJ9500A

is the VIN above F20645 ➞ ?
?
There was a change in stereo heads from a 2nd AJ9500A " like or series " to a different one as the 3rd head version from a 94.5 - 97 model year AJ9500A

 

Well, it was a mid-year change for the 308 in '03...so VIN is important. Perhaps a pic would be helpful....

 

Thank you
Here is the VIN

 

See page 127 and compare to page 129

So you can have the CD player with or without the separate final stage power amplifier

So you need to start there in finding the amp

I remember something about a amp cooling fan acting up and the work around it to get it to function

 

I don't believe the amp prevents the radio from turning on, which is the issue. The amp not working prevents sound distribution. This is why I am leaning on the rheostat as the issue.

Terry, so your head unit does not even come on correct? That includes the deployment of your antenna mast? If not, take the radio to a electrical repair shop to test and repair, unless you've decided to go 3rd party to upgrade.
