Default 95 XJS Radio not Working

I've read some other threads but am still struggling. Radio not getting power. I've checked the radio power fuse with a multimeter and it's good. I've pulled the head unit and don't see any issues. I didn't see a separate ground wire coming to the radio. Should it have one? Anywhere else I can check? I heard there's another fuse under the console. I have the code - just no power.

So the fuse is fine, there's power after the fuse, but somewhere between the fuse and the radio harness, there's no power? Did you check for continuity?

On the 95, there are no fuses under the console. There are two fuses for the radio in the drivers side fuse box. They should be fuses 4 and 5. Fuse 4 is unswitched power, and fuse 5 is switched power. On the vehicle side of the large connector near the back of the radio, not on the radio, the purple wire should be unswitched power, and white/blue should be switched power. With the ignition on, make sure you are getting power on both wires. The black/pink wire on the vehicle side of the connector should be ground. If you have power at both wires, and a good ground, then it's your radio that has an issue.
Jaguar used non -industry standard color codes for radio wiring. If your wiring doesn't match, you should still have power on two wires at the connector, ignition on, and ground on one wire.
