    radio doesnt work
    « on: June 16, 2014 - 12:14:15 PM »
    So it use to work but after sitting for so long the radio won't work. What are some troubleshooting steps to start with ? Its not the original radio.

    I know this sounds kind of simple but I would start with fuses.  I had an inline blow a few years ago.   :dunno:

    Make sure the antenna is hooked up.

    Check for corrosion on the plugs too.  Especially the fuse box.

    Radio was working fine when I parked it 13 years ago. Yes the antenna is connected . I'm leaning towards a fried wire or fuse , I just havnt looked yet. I'm nursing a broken right forearm so I'm limited on what I can do
