no radio or antenna working.

My stock radio doesn't turn on. When I push the button, I here a click, but nothing. The fuse is good. My power antenna doesn't go up or down either. Is there a connection here? Note: If I put a casette in the tape deck it plays fine. It's just the radio section that won't turn on. All the lights surrounding the stereo work too.

Is this a stock SE stereo? If so check the amps under the bin carpet and make sure they arent wet or corroded. Mine did the same thing and I discovered the amps were corroded and grounds were bad. My radio would work sometimes then cut off with a pop and a whine.

Yes, it is a stock SE radio. I can't bring myself to get rid of it, because the FM reception is even superior than what's available today, and it looks so freaking good at night with everything lit up. I will check the amp and see what's up.

Thanks,

Mike
