Why did my car radio suddenly stop working?
Blown Fuse: One of the most common reasons for a car radio to stop working is a blown fuse. If the radio itself will not turn on, chances are good that there’s one or more blown fuses causing the problem. This can also cause fuses to blow in rapid succession (you replace a fuse and it blows again shortly after).
Why is the radio not turning on or off?
The problem is the stereo is no longer talking to the car so the dashboard won’t display any radio info because it doesn’t know the radio is there. As for why that’s happened I don’t know, I see you’ve tried pulling the radio fuse but have you tried disconnecting the battery itself for a few minutes?
What to do if your amplifier is not receiving power?
If it is not receiving power check the connections for both the power wire and the ground wire at any point they could come loose (grounding bolt, distribution/fuse block, outboard fuse holder, battery connection, etc.). Is the amplifier receiving a turn on signal?
What should I do if my car stereo wont turn on?
Prepare your multimeter. Take your multimeter and set it to DC. Place the negative probe on the ground terminal, and the positive probe on the constant wire. If you are having trouble locating the constant wire, check the stereo user manual. It is also helpful to know that ground wires are most commonly green or yellow. Evaluate the reading.
Is the amplifier receiving a turn on signal?
Is the amplifier receiving a turn on signal? Amplifiers need to receive a positive power signal on the remote turn on lead in order to turn the amp on. This is basically the on/off switch of the amp. You wouldn’t want to use the main power wire as the switch so the amp has an internal relay that turns the amp on or off.

Why does my car amplifier not work on all channels?
If the test speaker works on all channels then you know it is something after the amplifier. This could be non-functioning speakers, problems with the speaker wiring or simply a bad connection.
