Default Radio stopped working

I went out to start my car about a week ago, and the radio won't work. Everything turns on but it wont play sound, radio or cassette. The antenna won't go up either. I'm guessing its the antenna motor, or possibly a fuse. Just wanted some input if this has happened to anyone before.

How about some details, e.g. Bose or non-Bose, year of car?

check the 2 fuses in the fuse box, also does the HU show radio stations or is the display blank.

If it is blank, your CDM is bad and would explain why the antenna is not working.

This happened to me a couple of days ago, except my A/C and heater also stopped working. It turned out to be a burnt out speaker/assembly (the one by your legs), it was causing a short. I removed the bad speaker, and everything works now.
