Dead radio

[osgoor]

I have a 2005 Itasca Suncruiser 37B with the original Magnadyne radio. The radio worked fine when I brought it into the storage yard less than a month ago but today, would not even light up. Checked the breakers next to the driver side door and its not popped so.... Where to look next?

someone wrote in another thread that the dash can swivel up to allow access inside the dash. True?? cant see a way to get in myself. I appreciate any and all help.

Is there a radio switch on the dash that needs to be turned on by chance.

The radio is fused at the 12 v fuse panel for the chassis and might also have a fuse either in line or on the back of the radio.

Yes. There is a rocker switch labeled (I think) Chassis/House. When on Chassis the ign. key must be in AUX to play radio. In Chassis the BATT DISC switch must be disabled (OFF) to allow power from the coach batteries to run the radio.

Your radi should also have a reset on the front. This is a small hole to allow a sharp object to push in the hole and reset the radio.

Found the issue....

Took the top off the dash console to see behind the radio (looking for fuses). There were no fuses so I took a shot at unplugging and re-plugging in the molex connector from the radio to the wire harness and "bingo", she lives again. Someone previous had run the harness over the console brace. I will re-wrote the harness below the brace to A) not wear through the wires and short out and B) relieve the stress on the wire harness

Thanks to all that replied.

Possibly unplugging and plugging in again just reset the radio as beach whale suggested. Glad it's working and rerouting the wires won't hurt!
