    I have this issues where the radio(non JBL) isn’t working. It has come on in the past but only to go dark again. I’ve removed it and checked all the connections, as well as, the fuses. Any ideas?

    It is 10 years old but if you think it might be the radio, a lot of people get rid of their old one for free because they upgraded or it might be a hood time to upgrade to something more modern yourself.

    I have an Aucar head unit to go in. I just curious if anyone else experienced this issue in case it was wiring or some other known gremlin before I went through the labour of installing the new one.

    2 powers and 1 ground to check, if those are good but the radio won't turn on then it's the radio.

    I posted the wiring diagrams above, assuming you don't have navigation you have a constant power from the Radio No1 fuse (30A) on connector R30 Pin 4 (White/Blue) and an ignition feed from the IG1 Fuse (10A) on connector R31 Pin 1 (Pink).

    Ground is supplied to connector R30 Pin 7 (Brown)

    How do I read this wiring diagram. I appreciate the help. The radio is still off, but when I have the headlights on the buttons around the radio come on and stay on but then go off intermittently. Seems odd to me and I want to check the the wires but can’t flooring the diagram.

    I'm envious of your troubles.
