Car Stereos: radio stopped working 2000 Sable, antenna wire, ussually


Question
I have an am/fm cd player and the radio stopped working.  There is power to the unit, but no sound only static. The cd player works fine.  There is no power to the fuse on either side for the rear control unit antenna. Where does the power source originate from for that circuit.

Answer
Hi Pete.

Did you check the antenna is connected to the radio?. have you had some one work on the car where the radio had to be taken out?. ussually in cases like that, the tuner inside the radio, goes out, so check for that, check the antenna wire is still in good codition, trace the wire and check its not broken, or damaged in general, aso check for a good conection at the antenna.

Hope this helps.
