Hey there, I had this once before but not sure why it's happening now. Turn radio on but no sound. I checked memory/radio/amp fuses all good, disconnected fuses plugged them back in, nothing.I had this before and I did something like unhooking battery. I something just don't remember and it started working again. Now I did have to replace amp years ago since water was collecting in back with bad hatch seal and corroded base. But seems like replacement was working good. Only thing I did was unplug that 2 fuse connector to save battery during long period of having it sit parked, maybe something went wrong there?

When you turn the radio on does it light up? if so it sounds like the unit has gone bad and needs replacement you can try rebooting it by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. Here is a video of the job being done on a similar car. Also does this car have an amp? Here are diagrams below for the wiring and how to replace the head unit and amp.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Thanks, into lights up and everything, just no sound. Had this before where amp was bad, also had to reset it etc. Worked after that. Not sure what's wrong now but will try your suggestion. Thanks
