I had a samll custom system put in by my "regular" shop a few months ago. The head unit has a removable face plate. Last week I got in and all the stations were blank as though the battery had been unplugged but everything else in the car was still set. (trip odometer, etc) Today I got in and there is no power to the head unit. I assume both the amps and the crossover in the back have power going to them because the power lights are lit up. I checked 2 fuses in the fuse box and one on an amp. All are good. I know the best thing to do is take it to the shop but I can't get there until Sat. Is there anything I can do or check in the meantime? I've never experienced any problems (equipment or shop) other than blown speakers and fuses:confused: Thanks for the time

You could remove the head unit and see if there is an inline fuse that might have blown.

Could be a faulty wire connection.

Man. I raced the 23 miles one way and back to the shop on my break and the guy that always helps me out was just like...did you blow a fuse? I can't believe he didn't even try to look at it. I checked the fuses I could get to but I don't even have the tools to pull the head unit out to see if there is a fuse within. Maybe I got him on a bad day...How am I supposed ot fix it if they don't tell me what's wrong? Even if I have to replace it, I still need them to tell me that the problem is. WTH? Why would it just stop for no reason????

For starters, you need to get a volt meter and test for 12 volts across the power wire and ground.

That's exactly the kind of info. I needed. Thank you! I wish I had more knowledge to offer to the forum but I will stick around long enough to try to make my questions worth it :-)
