Default 1984 C4 BOSE Radio Question??

Greetings All:
When car parked a few months ago, radio worked fine. Now, no display other than clock, no sound from radio, but tape deck plays great, so amps and speakers all good. Question: Are there more than one fuse that controls radio?? Any ideas?

Turn radio on, antenna goes up. Like I said, was working, now dead??? Car only has 12K miles!!!

THANKS in advance for any and all help.

Buff,
I would just remove and sent it to DoctorDons.com

It is 24 years old. Sometimes things just break.

BTW, the car has a relay that controls power to the radio, but if the tape works, I am sure it is fine.

Saw you post here so thought I'd ask....my '84 has lost power to the radio. I pulled the radio (aftermarket 6 years ago, worked fine) and am trying to find a hot wire coming in through the connections, but can't seem to find a hot wire. Just had the starter and battery changed and this is when I noticed the radio dead. Could my '84 have a relay problem like you suggested to the fellow above? Shouldn't I be able to use a test light, turn the key on, and find a hot wire coming to the radio? Thanks!
