Thanks for looking, as the title says my radio is dead. I replaced an old pioneer cd radio, with a newer aux/bt. I got it working and went to clean everything up, and plug it back in. After doing so, I would hear the antenna relay in the trunk turn on, but the radio stayed off. I checked all fuses, and the inline fuses near the radio, and trunk. What did I do now...

1986 Jaguar xjs 5.7l

 

Is there a fuse IN the radio itself? Like the oem jag model.

a volt meter should tell you where and if power is/isnt getting to it

 

Yes, and i tested both radios afterwards, neither fuses blew. Checked my fuses under the dash with voltmeter and came across 2 with no voltage but did not blow, I have no panel with labels so I don’t know which is which. There is no juice going to the constant 12v neither.

 

Got it working.

 

How?

If you tell us it may help the next person who searches for this issue

 

Bad ground to the main plug for the 12v hot and antenna. Took off my vent interior around the gas pedal and found a ground, took my ground from the plug and grounded it there. Turned on.
