Suggestions on where to start troubleshooting
A few days ago when I started the Vette and turned on the radio it powered up on the setup screen. Now there is no power to the radio at all.
Radio is is a kenwood touch screen with nav, Bluetooth, etc. that I had put on. In sept 2014. Been working great till now.
I replaced the radio fuse in the passenger side interior.
Otjer than talimg it to where it was installed. Suggestions on troubleshooting? As it’s after market. I am sure if they use the same fuse spot. So I will call and ask them that at least.
Many ideas besides just take it in. Are welcome.
Thanks

So if it is completely dead, and you have checked fuses and that is not the problem, the easiest way to figure it out is to pull the head unit, check the power lead (usually red but not always) with a multi tester to see if you have power all the way to the head unit by by using the power lead and the ground lead that go into your head unit if you get 12V+ when checking those, then it's probably your head unit. If not, then you start tracking down where you lost power. Sometimes there is an inline fuse and fuse holder on the power lead near the head unit.
