Start with checking for a dirty or loose fuse connection.

If you have power up to the radio head and a good ground and the radio is still not working, it will be a faulty radio.

Looked at other websites on the Internet and a few said a secret fuse located just behind the battery. I found this changed the fuse as it was all corroded now radio works fine. Thank you for your help though.
