Jmpjose Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Greatings. Currently have no power to my factory FM radio in my 84 DL. I have checked the fuse (15A) in fuse box and glass (2 amp) fuse behind radio. No luck so far. Radio stoped working a few months back. All the wiring is original and has not been messed with. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Radio unit could've died internally. Or there could be a broken wire behind the dash. It shouldn't be too hard to check each wire with a multimeter. I'd put money on the radio unit packing up. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pksjeep Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Use a multimeter at the connector or test light to see if you got power. OR Try jumping a hot wire directly to the radio if it plays you know the direction to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmpjose Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) FOLLOW UP: I tested all wires up to the radio and replaced proper fuses, (glass Fuse on radio unit). Seems like my Clarion stock radio took a crap . now begins the hunt for one. Thanks for yall's help.

el_freddo Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Best of luck with the hunt. I couldn't tell you what my L came with when I got it over ten years ago! it was probably just a hole in the dash until I installed my aftermarket head unit.

Jmpjose Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) HAPPY ENDING: finally after months of looking i found a stock radion on ebay for $25 "as is" for $25 i took the chance and bought it. Just installed it on 2/9/19 and it work better than the one that died on me. Now my project is back to 95% original....
